Designated Targets by John Birmingham

Designated Targets by John Birmingham

It's World War II and the A-bomb is here to stay. The only question: Who's going to drop it first?

The Battle of Midway was forever transformed by the devastating appearance of a U.S.-led naval task force from the twenty-first century. Since that day, state-of-the-art warships have prowled the Pacific, armed with the latest instruments of mass destruction, as the warring powers of 1942 scramble to be first to wield the weapons of tomorrow against their enemies. Russia and Germany form a deadly alliance, while Admiral Yamamoto moves to seize Hawaii and invade Australia.

Suddenly it's a whole new war with unimaginable high-tech tools, and high-stakes inter-national betrayals from Tokyo to Washington to the Kremlin. As the world trembles on the brink of anni-hilation, Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Hitler, and Tojo confront extreme choices and a future rife with possi-bilities--all of them apocalyptic.

Final Impact, Designated Targets, Weapons of Choice, He Died with a Felafel in His Hand, The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco, How to Be a Man, The Hunt for Savage Henry, and Leviathan, which won Australia's National Prize for Nonfiction at the Adelaide Festival of the Arts, are among John Birmingham's works. Birmingham also won the Carlton United Sports Writing Award and the George Munster Prize for Freelance Story of the Year. He's written for publications such as The Sydney Morning Herald, Rolling Stone, Penthouse, Playboy, and many others. With his wife, daughter, son, and two cats, he lives on the seashore.
