MacMillan Publishing Company. Very Good in Fair dust jacket. 1979. Stated First Printing. Hardcover. The pages are clean, no tears or soiling. The pages and binding are tight. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 368 pages; Early in 1977 a retired NATO general called together six of his colleagues-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? It is a careful, detailed, but at the same time imaginative account. Interspersed with lively extracts from combat accounts…. The destruction of Birmingham is described with appalling vividness. Will combine shipping on more than one book. .
