The Third World War: August 1985

The Third World War, August 1985 General Sir John Hackett and Other Top Ranking Nato Generals & Advisors, Hardcover Book by Sir John Winthrop Hackett. Early in 1977 a retired NATO general called together six of his collegues--including an admiral, an airman, an economist and a diplomat--to write a dramatized game-plan for the next world war. A sensational international bestseller, it is a vivid, detailed, and often blood-curdling on-the-spot report from the battle fronts of a "real war", from tank assaults to air clashes to ICBM launchings, based on an insider's knowledge of weaponry and actual NATO and Soviet battle strategies.
