1932

An alternate history

By: Tony Dunning

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if the first shots of the Second World War were fired not in Europe, but in North America?

In this gripping alternate history, the Great Depression pushes President Herbert Hoover to a desperate decision—war. Spurred on by the enigmatic fascist William Dudley Pelley, Hoover chooses Canada as the target, launching a surprise invasion based on the real War Plan Red. The result is a global shockwave.

From poison gas in Halifax to Canadian troops storming American cities, from Nazis in Germany seizing the moment to rise and strike west, to Japan launching a devastating surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, 1932 traces the chillingly plausible escalation into a full-scale world war—years ahead of schedule.

Told through interwoven chapters of battlefield courage, political intrigue, and sweeping strategic shifts, this narrative brings real-world figures—Hoover, Hitler, Churchill, MacDonald, and Tojo — to the edge of an unimaginable alternate reality. Canadian cities burn, U-boats stalk the Atlantic, and Britain scrambles to prepare for a war it didn’t expect… but must now survive.

As alliances shift and the Atlantic world fractures, one question looms:
Can the tide be turned before the darkness consumes it all?

Story too far out there

The story is too far out there mainly due to making the Canadian like superman and the Americans cee-stone cops. I realize this is a alternative history book, but the population of Canada to the USA was like 10-15 times difference and the military would be even more. Also you're going to tell me that the Pearl Harbor fleet just let the British bring troops from the far east and India and did nothing???? And I'm pretty sure we had a very big Atlantic fleet that seems to not being used or at least in piece meal. And it was amazing how everything went if important went through British way in every major battle. I could go on , but tge story could have been a lot better and a little fairer.

So far one sided that I couldn’t finish it.

Interesting story premise, but it was so far one sided that I couldn’t finish it. As another review noted, the British and Canadians are flawless. The Americans couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag. If I was Canadian or British I might have liked it.
