Sinopsis

Told from the perspective of Russian soldiers during an imagined Soviet invasion of Western Europe, Ralph Peter, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, intelligence world veteran, and bestselling novelist, delivers an unsettling, gripping, Cold War-era story based on real events.

Set in a fictionalized World War III, Soviet soldiers prepare to invade West Germany in three different locations while western leaders are distracted by the debate of nuclear weapons.

In a number of days, roads are clogged and cities are falling as the Soviets fight a gruesome battle against the West, revealing just how severely unprepared the NATO armies’ were for such a deadly attack.

Focused on the perspectives of Soviet soldiers, from a young private dreaming of music and home to a four-star general tirelessly honoring militaristic family traditions, this unique historical novel tells a riveting story of the shocking rivalries and crumbling loyalties that emerge during world-altering international combat.
