The second book is the main reason for this post. Its my latest dive into "alternate history" and I'm still on the fence.

THE GREAT NUCLEAR WAR OF 1975 by William Stroock tells the story of a three day war between the US and the Soviet Union. Well, it tries to which is why I'm not sure if I'll read the rest of the series (Yes, its book 1 in a series).
no novels here. :-)

re-reading Morison Volume 5 - The Struggle for Guadalcanal.
it is reminding me of the first effective use of submarines by Japan.
