"World War III : Strategies, Tactics and Weapons" is a painstaking reconstruction of the international scene since World War II. It examines the volatile and confusing nature of American-Soviet relations from the Berlin airlift, the Cuban missile crisis through détente to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.. It pinpoints three potential areas of crisis in the world: Poland, Yugoslavia and Iran. "World War III" assesses the relative strengths of both armed camps: the United States and its NATO allies against the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. The concluding scenario for World War III is a spine-chillingly acute interpretation of what might happen if the present tensions international relations worsen. The speculative account of a nuclear holocaust in the 1970s provides a lesson we cannot ignore. "World War III" should be read by all those who care about our future and that of our children.

How can we understand what caused World War I? What role did Germany play? This book encourages us to re-think the events that led to global conflict in 1914.Historians in recent years have argued that German leaders acted defensively or pre-emptively in 1914, conscious of the Reich's deteriorating military and diplomatic position. Germany and the Causes of the First World War challenges such interpretations, placing new emphasis on the idea that the Reich Chancellor, the German Foreign Office and the Great General Staff were confident that they could win a continental war. This belief in Germany's superiority derived primarily from an assumption of French decline and Russian weakness throughout the period between the turn of the century and the eve of the First World War. Accordingly, Wilhelmine policy-makers pursued offensive policies - at the risk of war at important junctures during the 1900s and 1910s. The author analyses the stereotyping of enemy states, representations of war in peacetime, and conceptualizations of international relations. He uncovers the complex role of ruling elites, political parties, big business and the press, and contends that the decade before the First World War witnessed some critical changes in German foreign policy. By the time of the July crisis of 1914, for example, the perception of enemies had altered, with Russia - the traditional bugbear of the German centre and left - becoming the principal opponent of the Reich. Under these changed conditions, German leaders could now pursue their strategy of brinkmanship, using war as an instrument of policy, to its logical conclusion.
