How, why, when and where would World War Three be fought? General Sir John Hackett – who, in the course of his long and distinguished military career, served as Deputy Chief of the General Staff and commanded the Northern Army Group in NATO as C-in-C of the British Army of the Rhine- has constructed a gripping and astonishing narrative, presented as though written shortly after the war’s end. The result is an outstanding book of compelling fascination and readability – and of the utmost seriousness and relevance to today’s high-tension world.

‘A careful, detailed, expert but at the same time imaginative account… serious and stimulating’ Sunday Times ‘Powerful… describes the course of the war in impressive detail’ The Observer
Vivid and convincing’ Chapman Pincher Daily Express ‘Detailed, frightening and horribly believable’ Daily Mail Thoughtful, imaginative’ Daily Telegraph

THE THIRD WORLD WAR IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT HISTORY BOOK YOU’LL EVER READ
