I liked Resurrection Day by Brendan DuBois.
A book about after the Cuba Crisis turned hot. And cheap at 2.99 at amazon:

Larry Bond's Cauldron (1997) was an interesting spin on a conventional European war, with France/a reunited Germany/Russia in a war against the U.S./U.K./Poland/Czechslovakia/Hungary - It seemed plausible at the time - and still seems plausible

I think the OP's after books involving actual war. There's no war in TFP, although it is a very good thriller.

You're right, that is what I was looking for. That said, I should probably take a look at some of Forsyth's books.

Forsyth's The Dogs of War is about a mining company's trying to use a small group of mercenaries to take control of a small African country via a coup d'etat. Forsyth was a reporter on the Biafran War, initially for the BBC and then freelance, and the novel is set within that context, as well as the larger context of the Cold War and the manipulation of Third World clients.

Harry, I think attempting to detonate a nuclear device in England classifies strongly as heating up the cold war (or actual covert warfare).
