From International Bestselling Author Dennis Jones comes the critically acclaimed Cold War military thriller.
1989: A U.S.-Soviet arms treaty finally leads to the withdrawal of Pershing and SS20 medium-range missiles from Germany. It seems like the dawn of a new age of peace and stability in Europe – until a highly-placed KGB mole in the German government uncovers that country’s very secret plans...
- Germany’s complete secession from NATO
- The reunification of her divided East and West into one nation
- The revival of the Wehrmacht, armed with French nuclear missiles
Suddenly the age-old Russian nightmare of attack from the West comes alive again. After the strongest diplomatic protests prove ineffective – and an assassination attempt against the German Chancellor fails. The Soviets take the only course of action left...it is called...BARBAROSSA RED

This is a very good "the war that never was" novel. And it has very different spin on how the war occurs. Notably, the focus of the book is not "war porn" were the story is just a medium to describe war toys and military action. It has a good underlying plot and does not jump around to a bunch of independent substories that don't support the plot. Recommend if you like Third World War books.
