At the end of the first book in this series, Raider Brigade - Into A Time Warp, Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Dan West, RAIDER BRIGADE Executive Officer, was meeting with the American Military Delegation to the Potsdam Conference at the Cecilienhof Palace, Potsdam, Germany. At Potsdam, LTC West learned that senior American military leaders intend to recommend to President Truman, a military solution to force Soviet compliance with western allied demands. LTC West also learned that the solution is a surprise large-scale nuclear attack intended to completely eliminate the Soviet seat of government, the Soviet top civilian and military leadership, and Soviet centers of research and production for conventional, nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. LTC West is consulted by the American military leadership to learn his thoughts about timing of the attack, because there will not be enough atomic bombs nor trained B-29 crews available until mid-1946 to execute a full-scale nuclear attack. LTC West suggests that Stalin may not sit around and wait for a year to be nuked. On 16 August 1945, the Red Army attacks the western allied military forces in Germany. The Soviet attack achieves complete surprise with the Soviet main effort attacking North of Berlin and pushing the British and Canadian Armies back some 200 kilometers to the west. The Soviet attack threatens to split the Anglo-American forces in half. The allies respond by counter-attacking with General Patton's 3rd Army into Poland to cut off Soviet forces west of the Oder River. If General Patton's counter-attack is successful, it will encircle a large group of the attacking Soviet armies. If the counter-attack fails, the western world as we know it today will change forever! Join LTC West, Colonel Nolen and the soldiers of the RAIDER BRIGADE as they celebrate the end of WWII in Europe and Japan and prepare to be shipped back to the USA only to find themselves in the middle of a new war. The RAIDER BRIGADE is assigned as part of General Patton's counterattack force advancing into the interior of Poland where it is attacked by the Soviet 3rd Guards Tank Army. Can the RAIDER BRIGADE survive an attack by an entire Soviet tank army? Will General Patton's counter-attack succeed? Can the western allies defeat the Soviet Red Army? Will President Truman authorize the use of nuclear weapons? Continue to follow LTC West and the RAIDER BRIGADE as they fight their way into Poland and take up defensive positions to fend off an attack by the 3rd Guards Tank Army.
