Lucky Strike Green

by Timothy Ross

What if Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, but instead had agreed to Hitler’s request and attacked the Soviet Union? What if the United States had not gone to war against the Axis powers, but had remained neutral? Lucky Strike Green is a novel that provides a realistic answer to these questions. When Martin Richie is transported from our familiar world into an alternate world, where the United States never fought the Second World War, his presence, and the knowledge he brings with him, trigger a global conflict between the Reich and the Japanese Empire.Author Timothy A. Ross is a former Marine and a retired college professor of Chinese and East Asian history. He has published English translations of two contemporary Chinese novels. Lucky Strike Green is based on two factual that Japan very nearly did decide to attack the Soviet Union in 1941 rather than the United States and that an Axis conquest of the continental United States was not in the cards for reasons of geography and logistics.
