About This Novel
In 1945, before the cigar smoke cleared in Yalta, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin had already carved new latitude and longitude lines for the earth with pens, pipes and medals under the gilded dome of Livadia Palace. This book reveals the thrilling game from the end of World War II to the beginning of the Cold War: Roosevelt's wheelchair concealed an infrasonic bug, Churchill's tobacco ashes coincided with the colonial map, the gold dust swimming in Stalin's ink outlined the prototype of the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe; under the parchment of the San Francisco Constitutional Convention , radioactive ink, bronze art of war codes and electromagnetic shielding nets are intertwined to form the United Nations' "womb of peace"; the chocolate bombs dropped by Berlin, the molecular bond currency of the Marshall Plan, and the topological signatures of the NATO Charter embed the struggle of great powers into the micro battlefield of technology and intelligence. Through the "historical dark matter" in 149 declassified files, we recreate the technological code, geosurgery and human spectrum on the eve of the Iron Curtain, and witness how another world war written in ink, sound waves and atoms quietly began when the guns fell silent.
