HACKETT, General Sir John (Winthrop)
- HACKETT, General Sir John (Winthrop)
(1910-)
British Army officer (retired) and writer, whose The Third World War: August 1985 (1978; rev 1982) and The Third World War: The Untold Story (coll 1982), both written with the help of a think-tank of soldiers, journalists and diplomats, together describe the course of a (largely) conventional war betweeen (mostly) NATO and the Warsaw Pact in a mock historical style. The books represent an attempt to alert the public to the dangers posed by war against the Soviet bloc, and remain interesting largely because of the authenticity and detail of their descriptions of what such a conflict might actually have been like.
