The Big Ones is an anthology about the alternate battles of World War II that absolutely never happened.  My own contribution tells the story of the Marine Raiders raiding the Asia Express in Manchuria, a battle that every history will tell you never happened.  Absolutely not.  The Marine Raiders never went to Manchuria, and the government can prove it.  But if you want to read about that battle that absolutely never happened, pinky swear, or a whole mess of other alternate histories of World War II, check out The Big Ones.  You might enjoy them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Big Ones (Raconteur Press Anthologies Book 36)\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_IcDG6qVYP8exyE&#038;asin=B0DG5ZRJKT&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raconteur is publishing another cool anthology this weekend, so I\u2019m going to pimp a Raconteur anthology I\u2019m in while we wait for Amazon to publish the new one.
