While I normally dislike Dale Brown with a passion, this book was very out of style for him: it was thought provoking (he actually handled the whole "women in frontline roles" very evenhandedly), realistic (no superplanes), and for Brown there was a low level of nuclear weapons. Dale Brown wrote this novel of what is essentially a Second Crimean War. was my response to David Michaels' terrible treatment of Canadians in this diatribe.ġ0. David Michaels (a pen name) turned out this terrible Canada-bashing bit of sludge that I was so pissed off about it contributed to me writing the first story I posted on this site. It's brainless, brawny, and the book equivalent of a Jerry Bruckheimer action flick.ĩ. Yeah.I'll get crap, but I get a kick out of this Patton-wank of Soviet wupping and good ol' American ass kicking. Cook writes this bit of picturesque warporn, but it's entertaining to say the least. Because this is the only novel I've read from him, I think I've got a lot more respect for him than most do.ħ. In an imaginary world that resembles ours harshly, in which the balance of power between economic forces seems more real than life Pillars of the Earth writer Ken Follett confronts the present as a warning to.
Ken Folletts pessimistic prophecies for the future of humanity. Ralph Peters tells the story of a successful Soviet invasion of Europe completely from the Soviet POV, and manages to include more human emotion than most technothrillers are normally able to. The drama of World War III in a new novel. Zaloga tells a story of a more violent fall of the Berlin Wall, and the subsequent invasion of Western Europe by the Warsaw Pact in '89-'90.Ħ. The most amazing part is his telling of a Yom Kippur War-style attack on South Africa by the sub-Saharan states.ĥ. General John Hackett spins this imaginative tale that's really a push for increased defense spending in the late '70s. The Third World War and The Third World War: The Untold Story. Tom Clancy rights the Gold Standard by which all WWIII novels are based. Harold Coyle follows an American armoured battalion as they fight through Soviets, East Germans, and Poles.ģ. Kenneth Macksey takes us inside the 4th Canadian Mechanized Brigade in the battle for Europe in the late '80s.Ģ. First Clash: Combat Close-Up in World War III. On to the list! (From Amazing to Pretty Good!)ġ. I hope there might be a few in here you haven't read and can enjoy yourselves, and that perhaps some of you post your own top 10 lists!
These perhaps aren't the most realistic (though they are by and large), but I can read them over and over, and I find them very entertaining.
So I thought I'd start up a thread to post my top 10 favourite WWIII books. as some of you can probably tell, I've been on a "conventional Third World War" kick for the last little bit, mostly brought on by looking up information for Soviet Invasion of Iran, 1981.
