The Third World War: The Untold Story by General Sir John Hackett (1983 1st North American Mass Market Paperback) • Author: General John Winthrop Hackett, Jr. (1910-1997) • Regional Maps: John Flower • Global consolidated Map: Jane Birdsell • Publisher: Bantam Books New York, NY 1983 This is the second novel analyzing a hypothetical World War III commencing in July 1985. The war is presented with differing points of view and shows a good understanding of media reporting techniques and virtual reporting forcing “the cat out of the bag.” Fortunately, the reunification of Germany and fall of the Soviet empire in the 1980s made this analysis just a novel. Still, it provides an accurate, detailed battle plan on how our next world war could be fought—and won. xv + 480pp. General Hackett, Jr. was an Australian-born British soldier, painter, university administrator, author and in later life, a news commentator.
