Eagle Against the Bear

On Christmas, a clandestine figure reaches out to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow with a tantalizing proposal: a foolproof plan to neutralize Russia's strategic nuclear weapons stockpile in exchange for political asylum. The Secretary of Defense, Gina Richardson, is well aware that the next decision could be the key to ending the war in Ukraine. She also understands that it could potentially escalate into a much larger conflict. Gina's two sons are serving as platoon leaders in the US Army. As the threat of war looms, they both wonder if they have what it takes to lead their soldiers into combat. Aleksandar Malakhov, the President of Russia, has a singular objective: to restore his country to its former glory. However, the US military and NATO stand in his way. Malakhov is willing to engage in high-stakes tactics and potentially provoke war with the alliance to see them come to fruition. It's like history repeating itself as reckless leaders push their countries toward war once again. Only this time, the consequences could be catastrophic. Gina Richardson understands any wrong move could trigger a disaster, but can she persuade her boss to ease off before he plunges the nation into a crisis?
