La guerra que casi perdimos: Cómo estuvimos a punto de perder la Segunda Guerra Mundial  En 'La guerra que casi perdimos', el autor explica cuán mal preparados estábamos para la guerra en 1941. Discute las áreas en las que podríamos haberlo hecho mucho mejor y cómo la responsabilidad podría haber sido compartida por muchos políticos y líderes militares.  El autor escribe sobre errores y meteduras de pata, así como movimientos brillantes realizados durante la guerra por ambos bandos que nos permitieron ganar, pero que casi nos cuestan la victoria. Una mejor planificación y ejecución por parte de los países del Eje podrían haber tenido efectos desastrosos en los Aliados. Pero al final, a través de un buen diseño, golpes de suerte y malas decisiones tomadas por nuestros enemigos, nos recuperamos y salimos adelante en la terrible guerra con colores voladores liderados por la 'Generación más grande' de todos los tiempos.  Arthur A. Edwards fue un oficial naval y veterano del conflicto de Corea que creció en el norte de California durante la depresión y la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Estudió la guerra en la Universidad de California, Berkeley, y tiene una biblioteca llena de libros de historia. Desciende de una larga línea de veteranos; dos de sus bisabuelos sirvieron en el Ejército de la Unión durante la Guerra Civil, un abuelo que intentó alistarse en la Guerra Hispano-Americana y un padre que sirvió en la Marina dos veces, una justo cuando terminó la Primera Guerra Mundial, y otra en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Arthur se graduó en ingeniería mecánica en Cal Berkeley, y trabajó en la industria aeroespacial construyendo satélites meteorológicos y de comunicaciones. Cada vez que trae a casa otro libro sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial, su esposa pregunta, '¿Hay algo que no sepas sobre la guerra?'
