Excellent

I served in the third armored division in 1980 in Germany so I can relate to the story.

A must read for any fan of Alt-History

This series so far is the best Cold War Alt-History fiction I've ever read.

NGL, kinda wish this was all in one book like Red Storm Rising, but splitting everything up in multiple books I think lets more of a good story get told.

This series will keep you entertained and tell a very good story of some good individuals.

At Least I Didn't Throw Up..,

The thought that ANY writer would consider Jimmie Carter capable of managing military actions successfully is unbelievable. Definitely a fantacy. But book two minimizes that thought enough that I kept my lunch down.

The rest of this book was fun although they made the Rooskies better than we now know would not have been. Things like ignoring the American Sosus lines were ignored. But ground combat was believable and individual air combat worked.
