Books like Red inferno: 1945 by Robert Conroy

A Soviet nuclear submarine marked for defection slips into the Atlantic, sparking a high‑stakes pursuit by the United States and the Soviet Union in this tense Cold War thriller.

Forecasting the Rise of the Rest: A Vision of the Post-American World

In the icy Canadian Arctic, a vanished Soviet bomber laden with anthrax is found, forcing a U.S. covert team, led by Lt. Col. Jon Smith, to race against ruthless mercenaries and Russian secrecy to uncover a deadly hidden truth.

The Caribbean crises of the Cold War are presented in this story of clashing ideologies, the rise of the politics of fear, the machinations of superpowers, and the brazen daring of the mavericks who took them on. During the period of Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson, the United States and the Soviet Union acted out the world's tensions on three important island nations, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Meanwhile, the leaders of these nations--the charismatic Fidel Castro and his mysterious brother Raúl; the ideologue Che Guevara; the capricious psychopath Rafael Trujillo; and François "Papa Doc" Duvalier, a buttoned-down doctor with interests in Vodou, embezzlement and torture--had ambitions of their own. The superpowers thought they could use Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic as puppets, but what neither bargained on was that their puppets would come to life. Historian Alex von Tunzelmann's narrative follows these five rivals and accomplices from the beginning of the Cold War to its end.--From publisher description.

In 1945, an unexpected Japanese coup forces the United States to invade the devastated homeland after atomic bombs fall—an alternate World War II ending of unprecedented scale.

This book changes that, giving readers a masterful narrative of the political decisions and miscalculations on both sides. It tells the individual stories of the soldiers on the front, who were left to deal with the consequences of such judgements.
