As the war in Europe entered its final months, the world teetered
on the edge of a Third World War. While Soviet forces hammered
their way into Berlin, Churchill ordered British military planners
to prepare the top secret Operation Unthinkable - the plan for an
Allied attack on the Soviet Union - on 1 July 1945. Using US,
British and Polish forces, the invasion would reclaim Eastern
Europe. The controversial plan called for the use of Nazi troops,
and there was the spectre of the atomic bomb. Would yet another
army make the fatal mistake of heading East? In Churchill's Third
World War Jonathan Walker presents a haunting study of the war that
so nearly was. He outlines the motivations behind Churchill's plan,
the logistics of launching a vast assault against an enemy who had
bested Hitler, potential sabotage by Polish communists, and he
speculates whether the Allies would have succeeded had the
operation gone forward. Well supported by a wide range of primary
sources from the Churchill Archives Centre, Sikorski Institute,
National Archives and Imperial War Museum, this is a fascinating
insight into the upheaval as the Second World War drew to a close
and former alliances were shattered. Operation Unthinkable became
the blueprint for the Cold War.
