The Long Loud Silence by Wilson Tucker
 
Corporal Russell Gary wakes to discover that he is one of a handful of

So this is how Ike was elected president in 1952 and not Stevenson...

Well, the western US government is a military dictatorship but that
doesn't necessarily rule out Ike being the one in charge. If the
US has to have a military ruler, Ike isn't the worst choice.

(checks Ike's timeline)

It looks to me like he'd have been on the wrong side of the US
in this particular timeline.

I wonder where MacAuthur was on June 20, 1951?
