The War We Almost Lost by Arthur Edwards was highly praised by Mark Heisey of the US Review of Books, acknowledging that “Edwards’ nonfiction title is a look at the strategic blunders made by numerous countries during the war and how the rapidly changing advances in military technology shifted its course. He uses hindsight to speculate on what might have happened if those mistakes weren’t made and points out those that he determines were most influential. The author’s personal knowledge on the subject is clearly presented, although the work would have benefited from the inclusion of direct references in support of its ideas. Edwards’ writing is clear and easy to read, and it is here that he is at his best. He is able to state in plain language key points relating to the historical events of the period and support his conclusion with easily understood rhetoric. Those interested in the history of the era and the military tactics of the countries involved will find this book an engaging read, giving them lots to think about and discuss with like-minded individuals.”

Arthur A. Edwards was a naval officer and veteran of the Korean conflict who grew up in Northern California during the depression and WW II.

In “The War We Almost Lost,” the author explains how badly we were prepared for war in 1941. He discusses the areas in which we could have done much better and how the responsibility could have been shared by many politicians and military leaders.

The author writes about mistakes and blunders as well as brilliant moves made during the war by both sides that allowed us to win but almost cost us victory. Better planning and execution by the Axis countries could have had disastrous effects on the Allies. But in the end, through some good design, lucky breaks, and bad decision-making by our enemies, we rallied and came through the terrible war with flying colors, led by the “Greatest Generation” of all time.

The book has a Spanish edition titled “La Guerra Que Casi Perdimos: Cmo Estuvimos a Punto de Perder la Segunda Guerra Mundial.”.
