Tom Clancey's novel Red Storm Rising describes a war in the mid 1980s between the US and the USSR. It's brief and non-nuclear.
If anyone's read the novel, do they have a comment on the postwar?
The book doesn't really talk about what happens post-war, and the only hints about what happens later are in the conversation between SACEUR & Alexseyev as the negotiate a cease-fire. Over a couple weeks from the agreement, WP forces will withdraw from NATO territory in phases, while allowing humanitarian aid such as food & medical supplies to pass through the lines. POWs are to be exchanged in Berlin. As for war crimes & crimes against humanity, it appears that the Soviets will take care of things in-house, as Alexseyev states that the USSR considers it their affair and anyone who mistreated civilians in violation of their military law will be court-martialed. As for the members of the Politburo deposed & arrested in Sergetov's coup who were responsible for the war and the effort to turn it nuclear, SACEUR requests that they be extradited as the NATO nations want to reconstitute the Nuremberg Tribunals to try them for crimes against humanity (I'd guess specifically waging agressive war), and Alexseyev replies that NATO can have them after the USSR tries them for crimes against the state. There's also some vague comments about how Sergetov's government will attempt unspecified liberalizing reforms.
That's pretty much it for post-war hints in RSR, as the rest of the book after the ceasefire negotiation scene is POV characters going on about some variation of yay- the war's over & they're still alive.
Also, this is in the wrong section, as questions about AH novels such as RSR properly belong in the Books & Media forum.
