That book is THE THIRD WORLD WAR, a dramatic account of the coming global conflict written by top NATO generals and advisors, and presented to Carter by British Prime Minister Callaghan.

A sensational international bestseller, it is a vivid, detailed, and often blood-curdling on-the-spot report from the battlefronts of a "real" war, from tank assaults to air clashes to ICBM launchings, based on an insider's knowledge of the state-of-the-art weaponry and actual NATO and Soviet battle strategies.

Controversial, factual, fascinating. . . THE THIRD WORLD WAR is the most unusual publishing event of the decade.
