August Niemann ends the preface by saying "My dreams, the dreams of a German, show me the war that is to be, and the victory of the three great allied nations. Germany, France, and Russia--and a new division of the possessions of the earth as the final aim and object of this gigantic universal war." This alternative history classic begins as WWI starts with a Russian invasion of British India; The French take on the British Navy, while the Kaiser and the German Army land at Edinburgh and march south. Germany, France and Russia have allied themselves in order to seek world dominance. The author depicts the German lust for world domination before either World War has occurred
