One poor decision. One moment of rage. In his astounding new series, the unthinkable has come to pass. The Cold War turns hot--and the United States and the Soviet Union unleash their nuclear arsenals upon each other. Millions die. Millions more are displaced. Germans battle side by side with Americans, Polish freedom fighters next to Russian fascists. The genie is out of the bottle. And there's no telling what fresh hell will come next. At the heart of Fallout are Harry Truman and Josef Stalin. Even as Joe McCarthy rises in power, the U.S. president is focused elsewhere, planning to cut off the head of the Soviet threat by taking out Stalin. It's a daring gambit, but the Soviets have one of their own. Meanwhile, Europe's weak sisters, France and Italy, seem poised to choose the winning side, while China threatens to overrun Korea. With Great Britain ravaged and swaths of America in ruins, leaders are running out of options. When the United States drops another series of bombs to slow the Russian advance in Europe, Stalin strikes back--with horrifying results. These staggering events unfold through the eyes of a sprawling cast of characters: a Holocaust survivor in a displaced persons camp in Washington; the wife of a bomber pilot and her five-year-old daughter starting a new existence; a savage Soviet fighter waging war by his own rules; a British pub owner falling in love with an American pilot. In the masterly hands of Harry Turtledove, this epic chronicle of war becomes a story of human struggle. As the armies of the world implode, the next chapter will be written by the survivors--those willing to rise up for an uncertain future. PRAISE FOR HARRY TURTLEDOVE "Turtledove is the standard-bearer for alternate history."--USA Today Bombs Away "Turtledove's thorough research and grounded imagination work to create a frighteningly realistic past where world leaders act out of desperation and fatalism, and a large cast of common folk suffer the consequences. The vicarious sense of eschatological dread is always powerful."--Booklist Last Orders "All quite plausible. Turtledove's focus on the characters serves to fill out the big picture with patient, nitty-gritty detail. Armchair warriors will have much to ponder."--Kirkus Reviews Two Fronts "A you-are-there chronicle of battle on land and sea and in the air."--Tor.com Coup d'Etat "This is what alternative history is all about."--Historical Novels Review"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Soviet Union $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Foreign relations $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cold War $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Alternative History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Science Fiction / Adventure. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / War & Military. $2 bisacsh 611 27 $a Cold War (1945-1989) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754978 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 651 7 $a Soviet Union. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210281 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1945-1989 $2 fast 655 7 $a Alternative histories (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 776 08 $i Online version: $a Turtledove, Harry, authror. $t Fallout $d New York : Del Rey, 2016 $z 9780553390742 $w (DLC) 2016013984 800 1 $a Turtledove, Harry. $t Hot war ; $v 2. 941 $a 20 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909041626.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804022432.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204083506.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110065409.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107033956.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006100134.0 952 $l NJPD993 $d 20180714052743.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20171128013203.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20171118011710.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170802013342.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418115626.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20161119011038.0 952 $l RQPC397 $d 20161025010931.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20160924010245.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160909012405.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20160824013524.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20160824011254.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20160809013441.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160802013126.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160721010317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=932015DA4B1A11E6B59043E5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
