best cold war - what if - book written rochelle w This book is about the Soviets invading Germany starting the Third world war. This is not your ususal Tom Clancy style book, but is a Geopolitical look at what could happen. (at the time it was written) The perspective is very different, written as if it was done after the war from news paper, and wire reports.It is not a book for those who just want to read about things getting blown up, this is a serious military and po. The Third World War: August 1985 A Customer I have been searching for this book for the past 3 years, since I lost my original copy in the move to Australia. John Hackett writes a book which is fluid in its description of the horrific actions of Nuclear War. Not a small book by any means, the 800+ pages seems to only last a day when reading it. Whether you are in Iceland with the marooned marine, against an island crawling with Soviet soldiers, or dieing in a flash. I highly recommend this as a must read for all Military Historians The Father of all Military Techno-Thrillers. There would be no Red Storm Rising without this book. I highly recommend this as a must read for all Military Historians.
