Four Days by Harold King (Hardcover)

“Crisis!
March 1953. In Moscow, Joseph Stalin suffers a massive brain haemorrhage. Four days later, the Soviet dictator is dead.
And in those four days, a series of incidents between East and West sets the future of the world on a deadly knife edge. It starts when a young Polish pilot defects to Denmark with one of Russia’s most advanced fighter planes. The CIA want him. So do the KGB. Then an RAF bomber on a routine flight is shot down, without provocation, by Soviet MiGs, following a border skirmish between American and Czech aircraft.
At the same time, the USAF launches the full might of its bomber squadrons in an exercise to test America’s coastal defences – a move that the Eastern bloc could all too easily misinterpret. The Cold War is threatening to explode into a blazing holocaust..”
