Matters of Consequence What Would You Do? Scenarios of Duty and Survival in WWII
War does not ask whether you are ready. It only asks what you will do next.
Matters of Consequence: What Would You Do? Scenarios of Duty and Survival in WWII places readers inside the pressure, uncertainty, and moral complexity of the Second World War, where ordinary people were often forced to make extraordinary decisions with no guarantee of safety, victory, or forgiveness.
Inside, you will face interactive scenarios shaped by evacuation, resistance, rationing, occupation, military service, civilian survival, intelligence work, family loyalty, battlefield pressure, and the quiet courage required when history closes in. You may be asked to shelter someone at great risk, obey an order you question, leave home with only minutes to decide, protect a secret, choose between duty and conscience, or determine what survival truly costs.
Inspired by the atmosphere of World War II and the difficult choices faced by soldiers, civilians, nurses, resistance workers, families, and field operatives, this book turns history into something immediate. Each scenario asks you to step into the moment, weigh the consequences, and decide what kind of person you would have been when there was no safe answer.
Each situation poses the same irresistible question:
What would you do?
Perfect for solo reading, book clubs, classrooms, history lovers, military families, discussion groups, and anyone who enjoys historical scenarios filled with courage, strategy, sacrifice, and deeply human stakes.
Step into WWII, face the decision, and choose what duty, survival, and conscience require.
