Winning Without Victory

A novel of romance and political fiction with a background of sex and empire, in the setting of a foiled nuclear war juxtaposed with the near return of the Ice Age. The story is that of three families that are intertwined romantically and by their shared commitment in a political fight to restate the world on a scientific platform, so that a future nuclear war will never be possible in order that the challenges of the return of the Ice Age will be met in time before much of the world’s agriculture becomes disabled thereby. The story is set in the mid-1980s and unfolds in Venice, Italy, in the Soviet sector of East Germany, and in North Carolina in the USA. It is not a military story, but one of diplomacy, science, and universal love. The novel is Volume 3 of the 12part series, The Lodging for The Rose by Rolf A. F. Witzsche.
