Publisher's Synopsis
War in the East is the fourth book in Martin Archer's acclaimed Soldiers and Marines saga. This is the fictionalized story of the intense fighting and American participation that would likely result if China takes advantage of Russia's military and political weaknesses, and invades the Russian East in an effort to restore to China the lands that were taken by various treaties when China was weak and Russia was strong. The United States and some of its men are sucked into the intense fighting because Congress approved a naïve American Secretary of State's treaty to end an earlier conflict between NATO and Moscow, a treaty which obliges the United States to help Russia if Russia is attacked by China's resurgent Red Army. The fifth book and final book in the saga is Israel's Next War. It describes the desperate fighting that occurs when a coalition of Islamic states and their militias suddenly stop fighting among themselves and launch a surprise invasion of Israel. This is a book whose initial reviews on Amazon and elsewhere have been mixed - Israelis and Israel's supporters in the west are fascinated because of the outcome it predicts for Israel and the Middle East; the Moslems of the Islamic states and their supporters hate it for the same reason.A reviewer summed it up quite well: "I think the graphic descriptions in this book will open your eyes as to how easy a war can start and be fought. I love reading this author as he describes the events so well that you find yourself thinking that you are almost there with them. Martin has written several books that I have read, and really enjoyed all of them.""What an amazing insight into how such a war might occur and what would result."
