Just finished "Cauldron" by Larry Bond, a "techno-thriller" describing a European land war in the 1990s (which was the future when the book was written). The basic story is that France and Germany form a coalition and invade the rest of Europe, with the US and Britain coming in on the side of the invaded countries (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, etc).

Well written and enjoyable, but marred by some irritating mistakes which could so easily have been avoided, such as referring to the "Labor Party" and "Ministry of Defense" in Britain (it is of course "Labour Party" and "Ministry of Defence"). 4 out of 5.
