Time Rift: Modern USA in World War II
"Time changes so much, huh? Only 80 years and we have Guided Bombs, Super Sonic travel, and we have reached to the stars." -Winston Churchill, c. January 1942 Formerly known as War is Hell. During New Year's eve in 2023, The US is transported back to December 6th 1941, This is what followed.. Inspired by United we stand, Divided we fall by USMCgamer101, This mostly takes a more 'realistic' approach to it, and a larger focus on the politics and fighting, and spying. There is no set main character for this book. I'm a military nerd, not a politician, if I get something with with how they handle politics and diplomacy please tell me in a constructive way! As with any WW2 book, There may be sensitive topics. I do not encourage Nazism or fascism. Viewer discretion is advised, Gore may be described during large battles.
