One of the lesser known books by H. G. Wells. Written in 1933, it's very interesting as FH.
Although he got a few things wrong, those which he got right are astonishingly accurate:
- War starts in Danzig, in 1940
- Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary and Albania invade Yugoslavia
- Germany unites with Austria
- Soviet Russia invades Lemberg, annexes Bessarabia
And note this: Wiki link
Seeking a more structured way to play war games, H.G. Wells wrote Floor Games (1911) followed by Little Wars (1913). Little Wars is recognised today as the first recreational wargame and Wells is regarded by gamers and hobbyists as "the Father of Miniature Wargaming."
