**The third world war**: How, why, when and where would Workd War Theree be fought? General Sir John Hackett - who, in the course of his long and distinguished military career, served as Deputy Chiet 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.
