About this listen

In April 1945, the Allies are charging toward Berlin from the west, the Russians from the east. For Hitler, the situation is hopeless. But at this turning point in history, another war is about to explode.

To win World War II, the Allies dealt with the devil. Joseph Stalin helped FDR, Churchill, and Truman crush Hitler. But what if "Uncle Joe" had given in to his desire to possess Germany and all of Europe? In this stunning novel, Robert Conroy picks up the history of the war just as American troops cross the Elbe into Germany. Then Stalin slams them with the brute force of his enormous Soviet army.

From American soldiers and German civilians trapped in the ruins of Potsdam to US military men fighting behind enemy lines, from a scholarly Russia expert who becomes a secret player in a new war to Stalin's cult of killers in Moscow, this saga captures the human face of international conflict. With the Soviets vastly outnumbering the Americans - but undercut by chronic fuel shortages and mistrust - Eisenhower employs a brilliant strategy of retreat to buy critical time for air superiority.

Soon, Truman makes a series of controversial decisions, enlisting German help and planning to devastate the massive Red Army by using America's ultimate and most secret weapon.

Only One Flaw for me

The reader was great except when he got to a “ southern “ accent in his narrative
All other narratives delivered well as were most characters voices
Story was compelling which, for me, means intriguing, imaginative

Military review

Well there are some historical in accuracies that will put off most people what I enjoy I was seeing the characters and the interaction. I really loved Patton’s reaction to the power of the nuclear bomb with his trademark swearing.

A great story!

While to story is read by one person and the voices/accents tend to blur. The overall story of an alternate history where Stalin and the USSR make a grab to claim all of Germany for themselves before the USA can bring the atomic bombs into play. A all around great read/listen, the author gives all sides of the story a fair perspective.

The first literary historical description of the sufferings of the german people in WW2

Virtually all ww2 stories focus on the sufferings of the Jews, and minorities in the war. This book also accurately
describes the greatest population of innocent Germans. when hitlers armies marched east there were no patriotic crowds sending them off, by
1942 most german civilians knew that their leaders
were insane. The Regular german army knew virtually nothing about the Jewish extermination camps except by rumors. Look at life of Bonhoffer!!

Amazing story

I wish I had listened to this the first time again and again. This story is amazing and every time I listen or read it I absolutely love it. The only sad part is that I can’t go back and listen to it for the first time.

Good but not great.

The story unfolded slowly then ends aburptly. Almost as if the author has a certain number of pages to write and when he reached them he ended the book. The opening and much of the book is good. The ending is disappointing. Worth listening but will not be memoriable.
