It's all down to people using the wrong apostrophes. Every time you write "Nazi's", somebody with an Anglo-Saxon surname rediscovers the origins of the Saxons, and changes their ethnicity to German accordingly. Please, won't you think of the Anglo-Saxon surnames?

Blayne, that's like the 10th book in a series of large books.

Here is a synopsis:

Evil Communist Dictatorship plots conquest of good all American Monarchy. The All American Monarchy gets help from Grayson--the future home of all Red-State republicans who's civil war with some ultra-ultra-ultra conservative religious extremists was won with help from Honor Harrington and the All American Monarchy.

To be victorious the villians must first destroy Honor Harrington. They prepare to do so.

At the last moment her psychic cat saves her. She is then able to save the day using her usual bag of lateral thinking, better tactics, and pure guts. Lots of people die on both sides. Honor comes away damaged, but we rebuild her, etc etc.

Now, now - that's rather uncharitable. The early books in the series are really quite good. But 'War of Honor' is a bad place to start. Go for 'On Basilisk Station' and 'Honor of the Queen', they set up the universe and are probably the best in the series anyway.
