This book is Conroy’s fifth alternate history novel, yet in many respects it reads like his third one, 1945, given how much he borrows from it. Though the setting is different – with the premise being a clash between Soviet and American forces in Germany at the end of the Second World War in Europe ...

Unable to maintain its fleet, the bulk of the U.S. Navy withdr...

As far as they could tell, there was nothing of substance between them and the capital of the Third Reich....
Nice what if war story. This book is an interesting show of all sides involved and not just the guys in the bunkers.
