It's September 1992. The Yugoslav Crisis is over, but tensions are rising along the Iron Curtain in Germany. Forty-eight hours before a surprise Soviet invasion, hardened airborne commandos of the Warsaw Pact launch a daring raid. Their mission: the covert seizure of NATO's Rhein-Main Air Base. The only thing in their way is a small band of US Air Force personnel. Heroic last stands abound in a desperate hour-by-hour struggle for the runways, as the 'Gateway to Europe' becomes the Alamo on the Rhine . . .



Set during the events of Red Front, Alamo on the Rhine is a novella covering a small but crucial slice of the great East-West confrontation. The actions of a few men and women in a few short hours will determine the fate of nations.
