 'The Linebacker Project' by Guest Historian Eric Lipps
Guest Historian Guest Historian Eric Lipps says, in this thread, we explore alternate scenarios for the interdiction campaign authorised by the Nixon Administration during the Vietnam War. Please note that the Cuba War thread is set in a congruent timeline but extends in a different direction into the 1970s; the POD for both is the last minute pardon of Alger Hiss by President Harry S. Truman. If you're interested in viewing samples of my other work why not visit My AOL site.
