In this, the third book in the Atomic War series, both the United States and the Soviet Union have suffered utter devastation thanks to atomic bombs delivered by B-29 Superforts and Tu-4 Bulls. Lives have been overturned as eastern Europe rises up against the Soviet occupation... not to mention some soviet socialist republics which never really bought into the whole USSR thing.
Once again, Turtledove brings the period to life using the experiences of his characters. Of course, this seems to be a bit repetitious or disconnected after a while as some of the characters have no real contact with the war anymore. Indeed, by the time the book is over it feels unfinished.
