The author is a defence analyst, so he knows his stuff. Then
again, all the armchair analyzing in the world don't mean
diddlysquat in the heat of the battle, and shocking upsets can
always unexpectedly happen.
World War Three has begun, with the armies of the Soviet
Union and the rest of the Warsaw Pact pouring over the Inter-German
Border. Their destination: the Rhine River and beyond, dealing NATO
a knockout blow that will end the war. Meanwhile at sea, an equally
titanic battle is about to take place. A Soviet Kirov-class
battlecruiser, attempting to intercept a U.S. Navy carrier battle
group, is intercepted by the battleship USS Iowa. The biggest
ship-against-ship battle since the World War Two is about to begin.
Who wins?
