The third in the 'Red Gambit' series, Stalemate deals with the events of the Third World War, up to 25th October 1945. Relating the experiences from both sides of the divide, and from all levels. 'Stalemate' deals with the man in the trench, through the pilot in his fighter, through to the Generals who direct the war from their command centres. 'Stalemate' brings the first stages of WW3 to a climax on the Alsatian plain, a sleepy town in Holland, and an insignificant town in Germany, whose name is now synonymous with death on a grand scale.
[The ‘Red Gambit Series’ novels are works of fiction, and deal with fictional events. Most of the characters therein are a figment of the author’s imagination. Without exception, those characters that are historical figures of fact or based upon historical figures of fact are used fictitiously, and their actions, demeanour, conversations, and characters are similarly all figments of the author’s imagination.]

A must have, must read.
By Trusten
As a fan of alternative histories, I bought the first book in this series and was immediately hooked. This is the third installment.
The series takes the reader through an alternate history in which the Soviet Union attacks western Europe following the defeat of Germany in WWII.
Can I just say, wow. The author crafts characters on both sides of both WWII, and the resulting/continuing WWIII (?) that are easy to empathize with.
Many writters have attempted this huge undertaking, but rarely does an author bring such an auspicious task to fruition with such well-though out ease to the reader.
I thoughly enjoyed all the books of this series. I whole-heartedly endorse your decision to by this entire series immediately. Do not procrastinate, just buy them.
Then, a warning, make sure you do not start reading until you have the time to do so. As once you start, you'll not be able, or wanting, to stop. Be prepared for a few days of work suffering from sleep deprivation. You have been warned!

Entertaining But Flawed
By Michael Snyder
I admit I have a soft spot for alternative history and this is actually quite good compared to some other alternative histories postualting a Third World War arising directly out of the end of the Second. But there is a significant flaw right up front that detracts from the pleasure.
The alliance between the Soviet Union and Japan is too far-fetched as is its consequences.
Politically, Japan had six major objectives. 1) Secure the Home Islands from invasion or blockade, 2) Secure Korea as the stepping stone from East Asis, 3) Secure the seas of the Western Pacific to secure approaches to the Home Islands, 4) Secure Manchuria as the basis for industrial expansion and population export, 5) Secure northern and coastal China, 6) Secure the raw materials needed to sustain and expand the home industries. The USSR and the US were the only nations able to prevent the achievement of these goals. The USSR had been neutralized by the non-aggression pact made necessary after Zhukov had spanked the Kwantung Army and put the Japanese on notice that further expansion beyond Manchuria and northern China was unacceptable and unachievable and the USSR's concentration on events in Europe. Japan went to war with the US for these objectives, it would not surrender any of them to the USSR for short term help that would result in long-term disaster. And allowing a Soviet front into and through Manchuria and northern China would do exactly that.
Militarily, the USSR had a small merchant marine. Most of which was involved in the US East Coast to Vladivostock Lend-Lease run. There were insufficient hulls to carry the size of forces postulated in the books. Moreover, the idea of Soviet freighters just sailing into Japanese, Korean or northern Chinese ports to load up with troops is not possible. The US had over one hundred fleet subs deployed in the western Pacific. The primary and many secondary Japanese ports were already mined by both subs and the B-29 effort. They were under constant surveillance. Once loaded, these freighters were supposed to sail to US bases in the Pacific. The western Pacific was a "free fire" zone. No neutral shipping (and the Soviets were neutrals in this case) traveled in this area. Between sub and air patrols, these ships would be spotted and shadowed. And the movement of dozens of Soviet freighters from Japanese, Korean and northern Chinese ports would certainly peak the interest of the US intelligence staffs. Not to mention that the US had penetrated the Japanese naval and merchant marine codes and any traffic about the Russian plan would have leaked to the Allies. Finally, no navy, and certainly the US Navy, in wartime, is going to let any freighters, neutral or otherwise, any where near its fleet achorages or its primary bases.
If there were military actions that the Soviets could take in the Pacific, it would involve the transfer of weapons and ammo, the opening of Soviet Far East ports to the IJN, and air support for the IJA in China. Or they could send a number of freighters heavily loaded with explosives to try to take out US installations in West Coast and East Coast ports and the Panama Canal. And certainly they wouldn't need the Far East Front to conduct offensive operations, leaving the supplies and logistics capability with their forces in Europe.
Otherwise, some other minor comments. The British tried the Indian divisions in north-west Europe in WW1 without success. This would be even more so with the political situation in India. The inflexibility of Soviet command and control, especially at the tactical level do to the shortage of radios wasn't fully reflected nor the eventual impact of the loss of Lend-Lease. The Soviets concentrated on combat vehicles and relied heavily on Lend-Lease trucks. But they still were weak logistically. Every Soviet offensive from 1943 on ran for a couple hundred miles and a couple of moonths and then came to a screeching halt. They then had to build up logistics support for another three or four months before their next push. Other Lend-Lease impacts would be telephone wire. The Soviets relied heavily on field phones and domestically produced wire wasn't fully water-proof, which US wire was. Another issue would be aircraft performance and reliability. The US provided the USSR with all its high octane aviation fuel. Since the Luftwaffe had to run on lower octane fuel, this gave the Soviets an edge in aerial combat.
Equipment missing or not fully exploited. The British MG Bn had both .303 Vickers WC MMGs AND 4.2in mortars. The British Infantry division had not just 3 24 gun 25pdr regiments, but a mixed regiment with 17pdr AT guns and 40mm AA guns. And the British had sufficient armored and tank brigades to support each division with a regiment (ie. battalion) of Churchills, late model Valentines or Shermans. Cromwell regiments had Challenger 17pdr armed tanks in support, while by May 45, three out of every five Shermans were Fireflies. The British had also converted a couple hundred Wolverines (M10 TDs) to the Achilles with the 17pdr ATG. And Corps and Army artillery had dozens of regiments with 4.5in guns, 5.5in gun-howitzers, 155mm M1A1 guns, 7.2in howitzers and US 8in howitzers. British airborne artillery regiments had US 75mm pack howitzers.
As far as the US, US infantry divisions by May 45 had a seperate medium tank battalion, a TD battalion (SP or towed), an Automatic Anti-Aircraft Weapons (AAAW) Bn and extra combat engineers habitually attached. With this and a couple of truck companies from Corps or Army, a US infantry division was fully motorized, a sort of "super" Panzer Grenadier division. Sherman distribution was about 40% Sherman 75, 40% Sherman 76 and 20% Sherman 105. Also every tank battalion had a hand full of up-armored M4A3E2 "assault" tanks. The cavalry groups and the armored recon battalions had replaced M5's with M24 light tanks. 2d and 9th Armored were fully equipped with M26 Pershings and there were over 500 in theater by July. The TD battalions were about 70% SP and 30% towed. SP Bns had M36 90mm gun TDs or M18 Hellcats. Towed had 3in ATG M6 and some 76mm T5 and 90mm T8 ATGs were supplied for troop tests. The 17th Airborne had already recieved 57mm and 75mm recoiless rifles vefore their jump across the Rhine and by July, all three airborne divisions would have had them along with 105mm M3 howitzers in their glider artillery Bns. Airborne divisions usually had one or two additional airborne infantry regiments attached. Every US infantry regiment had six 105mm M3 howitzers which were used as "infantry guns", though some divisions simply added the 18 tubes to their divisional artillery. There were sufficient 4.2in chemical mortar battalions to give a company of 12 mortars to every division. There were dozens of AA battalions with 90mm guns in NW Europe, most with the dual-purpose M2. And finally there was the plentiful US corps and army artillery. 155mm M1, 8in M1 and 240mm M1 howitzers, 155mm M1918M1 and M1A1 (some SP) and 8in M1 guns.
