Earlier this year, at Eastertide in 1987, we, a group of Britons deeply aware of how narrowly such freedoms as the Western world enjoys had been able to survive the onslaught upon them of the enemies of freedom in August 1985, completed a book about the causes, course and outcome of the Third World War. In the prologue to that book (a short piece of writing of which every word stands as firmly today, six months later, as it did then, and perhaps deserves re-reading) we wrote: Much will be said and written about these events in years to come, as further sources come to light and further thought is given to this momentous passage in the history of our world.* A good deal more information has indeed become available since then.
* The Third World War: August 1985 (Sidgwick and Jackson, London, and Macmillan, New York, 1978)
