THE GATES OF VICTORY: The Alternate History Novel of The Battle of El Alamein (The Malta Fulcrum WW2 Alternate History Series) Review: SCOTT WARD SHOULD BE COMMENDED - Scott Ward should be commended for his detailed, dramatic, and alternate historical work on the Battle of Alamein and Field Marshall Rommel's stunning victory over Imperial Britain. Its also refreshing, for myself, to see the German military, aka the Wehrmacht, victorious, please note I know I'm being totally politically incorrect, but I don't give a damn. After viewing movies, like Where Eagles Dare, The Guns of Navarone and The Dirty Dozen, to name a few, where countless German soldiers were murdered to satisfy American audiences, and its political correctness, it is good to see the shoe on the other foot. Also should the German military had been victorious in World War Two there's a good chance Europe, much less the world, wouldn't be facing the challenges they do today, e.g. European nation's becoming Islamic Republics, spread of terrorism, especially the tragic events of 9/11, much less past conflicts such as the Korean War, conflict in Vietnam and the Cold War. For Scott Ward, on his alternatives for his next work on the alternate history of World War Two, I would have Field Marshall Rommel be given command of the Sixth Army as his new command approaches Stalingrad and Southern Russia. I might add by then Rommel would of had a wealth of combat, command experience, as opposed to Field Marshal Paulus, who had a minimum amount of experience in a combat, command. Surely Rommel would have perceived the trap that Stalingrad was and would of protected his flanks, which Paulus did not. In closing, perhaps one should read the editorial by the gifted and great American, Walter Williams: Communism Killed More People Than Fascism! Review: Good read & -- My Vote is for Rommel on the Eastern Front -- - Interesting book, I liked the premise and found the plot and its execution a very enjoyable read. All 3 books in this series thus far were quite enjoyable. I did want a bit more detail on the Artic operations and military situation/environment while reading Book 2 however it was still fun to read but a tad short. -- My Vote is for Rommel on the Eastern Front --, After all it does make one wonder how things might have occurred differently if Rommel was not only on the Eastern Front but commanding either the entire Army Group South or just replacing Friedrich Paulus in charge of the Sixth Army. The possibilities and implications are varied and intriguing to say the least! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,657,787 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,112 in Alternate History Science Fiction (Books) #11,395 in War Fiction (Books) | | Book 3 of 3 | The Malta Fulcrum WW2 Alternate History Series | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (247) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.89 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 154959771X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1549597718 | | Item Weight | 2.51 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 753 pages | | Publication date | August 26, 2017 | | Publisher | Independently published | | Reading age | 1 year and up | ## Images ![THE GATES OF VICTORY: The Alternate History Novel of The Battle of El Alamein (The Malta Fulcrum WW2 Alternate History Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ytsx1YeEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SCOTT WARD SHOULD BE COMMENDED *by X***A on September 15, 2017* Scott Ward should be commended for his detailed, dramatic, and alternate historical work on the Battle of Alamein and Field Marshall Rommel's stunning victory over Imperial Britain.

Gates was a very good book like the previous two. Mr. Ward is an excellent storyteller, constructs his plot well, and doesn't bloat the storyline like some alt history writers do. His battle sequences are generally excellent, though he's weaker on air battles than on sea and land battles. I'm not sure why he thinks the Bf-109E variant was still in action in July 1942, and the Italians were flying a lot of the Macchi 202s, not the 200s, at this stage; this made them much more competitive with Allied planes. The Ju-52 with retractable landing gear someone else already pointed out. . . Well, you can't get everything right, but Mr. Ward gets the majority of it right, and I'll keep reading whatever he writes next. One of the best alt history writers right now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/46658680-the-gates-of-victory-the-alternate-history-novel-of-battle](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/46658680-the-gates-of-victory-the-alternate-history-novel-of-battle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
