An Alternative Britain Under Communism

[Maclaren J]

I've had this book idea in mind for some years and finally finished the manuscript and am hoping to publish later this year. I would welcome some comment and feedback on the premise and the narrative from people interested in alternate history.

Premise: Britain loses the Falklands War and Margaret Thatcher is not re-elected. NATO withers and the U.S. withdraws into an isolationism. Britain and parts of Western Europe transition to socialist republics under a continuing USSR influence. A secret long-term plan to restore democracy is threatened by the nation's extensive security apparatus.

This is a premise that always interested me, with four of my favorite novels coming from a similar premise. "All Our Tomorrows" by Ted Allbery, the "Fourth Protocol" by Fredrick Forsyth and the two linked novels by Bryan Forbes " The Endless Game" and "A Song at Twilight". It also has to be said where plenty in the Labour Party in the early 80's who would have welcomed a Soviet style Britain. (Just look at the statements from Tony Benn during his failed attempt to become Labour Deputy Leader in 1981).
