With approximately 20,000 Soviet-made tanks in Europe and over 1 million men under arms moving into the Fulda gap and other choke points along West Germany, NATO may be in for the fight of its very existence as each nation involved as both hunter and prey. Based on the first three novels of the series, WW III by Ian Slater."
