In 1978, General Sir John Hackett (a retired, although he never liked the word, Australian-born British general who led a brigade at [[A Bridge Too Far|Arnhem]]) and a bunch of other high-ranking ex-military and diplomatic people, some contributing anonymously wrote a book on a possible [[World War Three]], '''''The Third World War: [[The Great Politics Mess-Up|August 1985]]'''''.
Written in the style of a history book written in 1987, it had the war start over the collapse of Yugoslavia, with Moscow starting to lose control over the [[Warsaw Pact]]. The USSR launch their main offensive against [[West Germany]]. There is fighting the world over, including in space.
Line 18:
* ''World at War: Eisenbach Gap''
* Dean Ing did a trilogy (''Systemic Shock'', ''Single Combat'', and ''Wild Country'') beginning in a 1996 which clearly follows from this book; the first chapter specifically mentioned the nuking of Birmingham and Minsk.
