This is the name of a book I'm writing. It's set in an alternate history where Soviet Russia won the Space Race and landed on the Moon first. Here's a basic overview:

Accomplishing the diffucult task of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth made the Soviet Union feel empowered and invincible. Other countries, jealous of the Soviet Union's massive accomplishment, began adopting ideals, mainly Communist and Socialist ideals. Before long, China, Korea, Vietnam, several other Hmong contries, and a couple European countries had adoped the Communist way of life. The influence of this socio-political ideal lead Nikita Kruschev to ally with these countries. After five years, the United Soviet Socialist Republics had expanded from Europe all the way to China. Obviously, the United States heard about this, and was on high alert and ready for an invasion of the country by Soviet Russia. Eventually, the USSR became a major global power.

So, the book is about the tensions between the United States and the USSR/Soviet Russia.
