Author
A terror attack on the Indian parliament kills hundreds. Hours
later a North Korean missile hits a US military base in Japan. The
opening stages of the Third World War are more confusing and terrible
than those in any war in history.
THE THIRD WORLD WAR tells the story of what happens when an American
president tries to make peace with those who only want catastrophe.
Every attempt at conciliation leads to more conflict. One by one,
the powers that America once counted as allies become enemies, and
the comfortable lives of citizens in modern societies verge of physical
and emotional collapse.
