How, why, when and where would World War Three be fought? General Sire John Hackett has constructed a gripping and astonishing narrative, presented as though written shortly after the war’s end. The result is an outstanding and compellingly readable book – which becomes increasingly relevant as the tension rises in today’s dangerous world.
