When is it set?

[edit]

Could somebody who's read this recently flesh it out a little more, more details: i.e. roughly when is it set, does it cover much of the political backround, what is the point of divergence etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.157.1.87 (talk) 00:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

  • The book seems to be set in the immediate post-Reagan era, as it refers to the President continuing on with a predecessor's philosophy of pushing the Soviets to the wall and straining their economy. It also makes reference to "the liberal Carters, and the dilettante Kennedy's with their first-step treaties". However, at the President's inauguration, the comment is made that the President really didn't like his immediate predecessor (maybe Mondale or Hart got elected in 1984 in this history). 147.145.40.43 19:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've recently read it so I'm going to give it a polish now I own the book too so I can reference things more easily.

I also added an image I scanned from my copy of the book as a service to Wikipedias insane slavish holding to archaic copyright laws that belong in another century. I will not allow this to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jericho.Trinity.Omega (talkcontribs) 18:03, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Image of book cover / WWIII Genre Project

[edit]

I've made it a personal project to polish and expand the articles of the books in the WWIII genre, and have ran into trouble with the images due to the archaic copyright laws and wikipedias insane image policy. I've written to the publishers and authors (where applicable) of the WWIII books listed on the SEE ALSO part of this article, in order to confirm what peoples common sense should already have told them: NO AUTHOR CARES IF THE COVER IF THEIR BOOK IS ON AN ENCYCLOPEDIA PAGE.

Those disclaimers inside book jackets where they reserve all rights in every form were meant for the era in which these books were published, the 1980s, which is a totally diffrent universe to the one were in now.

When I get their permission I will be putting my own images back up.

I would urge the knee-jerk administrators on here to actually read the upload information this time before hysterically pulling the images.

Try going with the spirit of the law not it's letter, putting the book jacket on wikipedia is promotion of the book not copyright theft, the wikipedia policy in this area is even more insane and dated than the actual laws. At the very least they should wait until they have a complaint before pulling images, but what author in their right mind would have a problem with it? None.
