The war that was supposed to happen in 1985, according to the novel written by British former General Sir John Hackett, entitled "The Third World War: The Untold Story".
Features the usual Cold War era nemeses (U.S.A. / U.S.S.R) and their respective allies (lackies) with fighting taking place in various theatres, notably central Europe and the Middle East.
First published in 1978, revised in 1982; commonly referred to under the genre of "future history", but can now of course be classified as "alternate history".

"The Third World War" makes references to much of the military hardware of the day (F-15 Eagle fighter jets, AH-64 Apache helicopter gunships, and Abrams tanks, just to name a few), as well as concentrated (but contained) nuclear attacks on Birmingham, UK and Minsk, USSR.
A very realistic and intriguing account of what COULD HAVE happened, but thank God, never did. And an excellent read.
