About this listen

May, 1989. The two nuclear superpowers are finally talking peace, but not everyone in the Soviet Union seeks such resolution. Senior Soviet ministers and generals conduct a coup to seize power and prevent the dissolution of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact. To cover up their plot and capitalize on the resulting chaos, they invade West Germany, setting off a chain of events and the Third World War. Across Europe, soldiers and spies are drawn into the conflict. From NATO headquarters to the front lines, the information is there to prevent nuclear annihilation if only they can find it in time.

Based on the declassified Operations Order 33001, Leo Barron's decades of military intelligence experience allow this military thriller to dive deep into tactics and realistically explore how everything could have changed in 1989.

Great for military and non military readers

Very well written and entertaining. The author did a great job of writing the events in a way that military readers would find accurate, while not being confusing or oversimplified for non military readers.

Interesting Viewpoints

Great knowledge of tactics and details. The specifics about the quality of weapons on each side was dead on.

Suspenseful and dramatic!

Great read. The story focuses the reader only on the US Army tank regiments portion of the war. It does not expand out to include any Naval, or Airborne infantry, it touches very lightly on the US Air Force. The tank Commanders and Corp level Commanders points of view. I really did enjoy the read and for once the author wasn’t afraid to use Nukes.

Great premise, gets lost in fog of writing

There are several things to like about this book:
1. It does make you think about what could have happened.
2. Alternate history is a fantastic subject, and seeing another author tried to tackle this angle is great.

The trouble with this book is that it is so lost in the minutia of the battles that you get little minor character development and all the politics disappear. What starts as an interesting story about the political coup just gets lost in the battle.

If you’re a fan of books that are detailing unit movements and how a battle unfolds, this book is for you. I made it to within seven hours of the finish, but I just cannot conclude this.
