Early in 1977 a retired NATO general called together six of his collegues--including an admiral, an airman, an economist and a diplomat--to write a dramatized game-plan for the next world war.
A sensational international bestseller, it is a vivid, detailed, and often blood-curdling on-the-spot report from the battle fronts of a "real war", from tank assaults to air clashes to ICBM launchings, based on an insider's knowledge of weaponry and actual NATO and Soviet battle strategies.
In the light of changes in Eastern Europe the question now is: Could it ever have happened? Could it ever happen again?
This is an outstanding book of the utmost seriousness, fascination, readability and relevance to today. It is extensively illustrated with photographs and maps.
