May 1945. Hitler is dead. Berlin is in ruins. The war in Europe is about to end. In the small town of Wismar, a tense situation leads to Canadian and Soviet forces exchanging fire. Josef Stalin, the USSR's paranoid leader, believes this is the prelude to a full-scale attack by the Western Allies. But he strikes first, turning the full fury of the Red Army against the Americans and British. The Western Allies wage a desperate battle to prevent the Continent from falling under the nightmarish rule of another dictator. New tactics are employed, guerilla bands launch raids deep inside enemy territory, and President Harry Truman and Prime Minister Winston Churchill are forced to do the unthinkable . . . join forces with their former enemy. But will that be enough to stop the Soviet juggernaut?
