A fascinating Alternate Military History book

With the "Alternate History" genre in vogue I thought I'd pass on what this book is, and isn't. Character development isn't the author's strong suit...but that's not really why you read Alternate History is it? I share the author's joy in the "What If?" of history. The primary character, Ferguson, is a reporter who relays all that happens... An invasion of Cuba... Conflict in Berlin between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, which threatens to engulf Europe in nuclear war... and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, pushing ahead without the leadership of Martin Luther King. The events are plausible, and the military battles skillfully & accurately written.
