An Alternate History story written by user name Amerigo Vespucci, in which the Cuban Missile Crisis escalates into nuclear war.In our timeline, during the crisis, the Soviet submarine ''B-59'' was cornered by US warships which attempted to force the submarine to surface for identification with depth charges. The captain, believing war had already broken out between America and the USSR, prepared to launch a nuclear torpedo at the Americans, but was stopped by his second-in-command Vasili Arkhipov. Here, Arkhipov is incapacitated, and the the captain goes through with the launch, destroying the aircraft carrier USS Randolph and setting in motion a catastrophic chain of events.Read it here.

comment
Allohistorical Allusion: In the postwar environment, President Lyndon Johnson orders contaminated no-go zones arounds nuked cities with soldiers keeping anyone from going in or out to prevent the spread of radiation sickness. Bandits from the zone often attack the soldiers in hit and run operations but retreat back to the zone where the soldiers are ordered not to follow. Sound familiar?

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: After the Warsaw Pact forces invade West Germany and multiple tactical nuclear weapons are used, a radio broadcast reportedly by Vice-Chancellor Ludwig Erhard announces that West Germany will surrender unconditionally to the Soviet Union. No one on either side of the conflict cares.
