Here’s what the critics are
saying:
. . . ingenious
and a work of high imagination . . . a piece of historical
writing based on a history that never happened . . . an
intellectual exercise whose challenge and quality command respect.
General
Sir John Hackett,
author of The Third World War
. .
. brings modern naval operations to life in this chillingly
plausible and totally credible account of global war at sea
Palmer's exceptional knowledge of strategy and tactics makes
this fast paced naval thriller an excellent companion to
General Sir John Hackett's classic, The Third World War.
Larry
Bond,
author of Red Phoenix and Cauldron
...As a
study of geopolitical and military strategy, the book offers stimulating material for scholars and interested military historians. . . Palmer, a naval historian and author of Guardians of the Gulf, clearly knows his stuff. . .”
Publishers Weekly
The story, told by the fictional Russian naval officer Yuri Sinsukin, runs from beneath the frigid waters of the Norwegian Sea to the sunny shores of the southern Mediterranean, from the deep Pacific waters off the coast of Japan to the airfields around Cam Ranh Bay, and from isolated Diego Garcia to the edges of the Red Sea. It involves every class of ship, submarine, aircraft, and fighting unit from the navies, armies, and air forces of the world.
Palmer demonstrates tremendous vision as he creates global war in intimate and exciting detail. In addition, Palmer looks at the "war that was” -- the Cold War, and through the vehicle of the The War That Never Was provides a logical and comprehensive explanation for the seemingly sudden collapse of the Soviet Empire. With solid historical background and complete with maps, The War That Never Was presents a grim yet fascinating look at a future that never happened.
