Truman's War is the gripping second volume of the World in Flames trilogy. Stalin's War told the story of the build up to war, and now Truman's War tells the story of two superpowers at war in the devastated landscape of post-war Germany that soon spreads across the globe.
The drama opens with a massive series of attacks across a four hundred mile front as Marshal Zhukov's powerful Red Army launches Operation Stalin's Revenge against the ill-prepared Allied armies. The American and British armies having never faced such a powerful foe are sent reeling back from the opening attacks as entire units are soon overwhelmed by the advancing Soviet forces.
The relatively untried American President is forced to grapple with the realization that the United States is threatened with its most deadly enemy in its history and a choice must be made…fight or retreat across the Atlantic in disgrace. Will President Truman rise to the occasion or instead falter and fail to live up to the exalted legacy of his predecessor.
A series of brutal battles in the air, land, and sea break out as Allied forces strike back but at an appalling cost. Massive pitched battles from Hamburg to Pilsen try to stem the Soviet onslaught, but victorious Soviet tanks push hard for the Rhine to secure a swift victory ever mindful they are up against the clock trying to win before American atomic arms can be brought to bear.
Heroes emerge while others fall in disgrace unable to stand up to a new type of war, a total war unlike any the Allied armies ever thought possible. Truman's War tells the story through the lives and actions of numerous historical figures from Truman, Churchill, Eisenhower, Patton, Montgomery, Bradley and countless others while also focusing on the great Soviets figures of the era, Stalin, Zhukov, Khrushchev, Rokossovsky, Chuikov, and others. Plus, numerous lesser known historical figures play their parts and fictional characters are also introduced to play important roles in the drama that plays out page-by-page until we reach the stunning conclusion setting up the third and final volume of the World in Flames trilogy.
His love of reading led him to begin to write as a hobby. Now with the release of his fourth novel, The Fall of President Douglas J. Wolfe, what was once a hobby has turned into a great passion.
His first novel written in 2006, Divided We Fall, is a political thriller exploring the first signs of a Red and Blue America that explodes into a second American Civil War. His next two novels, Stalin's War and Truman's War, are alternative history novels and the first two volumes of the World in Flames trilogy. This trilogy explores one of the great "what if's" in history, a war between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.
He is hard at work on the concluding volume of the World in Flames trilogy and hopes to have it available in 2019.
