The Third World War

Sir John Hackett's first book The Third World War: August 1985 sold 3,000,000 copies world-wide to enormous critical acclaim. This new book tells the rest of the story - the story which could not be told until now. It makes use of much new material, including de-classified NATO reports. It gives for the first time the inside story of how the war was planned in Moscow and experienced on the battlefield by the Warsaw Pact forces. It is a new history of the Third World War, based on new material, concentrating on unexplored episodes, and illuminated by fresh perspectives.
