In 2025, after a brief border conflict between NATO and Russia, an unknown alien species lands in the Baltics, Poland and western Russia. What follows is a war on an unimaginable scale—one that draws in every nation on Earth and results in the deaths of hundreds of millions of humans and billions of extra-terrestrial beings. This book compiles first-hand accounts from soldiers, civilians, officials, and those who lived through the conflict, offering a detailed look at an event that redefined the modern world. From tank crews locked in fierce battles across the Suwalki Gap, Red Cross volunteers on the frontlines, and North Korean Marines storming European beaches. These are just a few of the countless tales from the war that was supposed to end all wars.
