Armistice by Harry Turtledove

In the final book of the blistering trilogy The Hot War, old hatreds and new chances for revenge are unleashed on an already devastated world--as the Cold War becomes a roaring inferno

As these harrowing events develop, the lives of men and mothers spanning war lines, races, and religions play out all over the world. In Los Angeles, an extended Jewish family builds a future, while the vile scent of a refugee camp in Santa Monica wafts in on the beach wind. In Korea, a USfighter strives to bring his Korean interpreter stateside as a full American. In Siberia, two German women fiddle with their children.

Armistice captures a world divided to its core by the horrors only humans can produce, from the horrifying global chess match between superpowers to the strength of individual human conscience.Through the thunder of battle, the collisions of armies, and the whispers of lovers, how humanity will be rebuilt, and who will do it, are the questions that resonate in this great work of imagination.
