Just finished "First Clash" by Kenneth Macksey. It was written in the early '80's as a specific training scenario and published (B-GL-309-006/FT-001) for the Canadian Army fighting the Russians in West Germany had they attacked NATO. Quite interesting to read due to the fact of the now outdated weapons and also to get a mindset of what people were thinking back then as far as how an aggressor would act. One problem is the acute detail it goes into as far as units and their movements. Have to use the maps provided and then still sometimes you can get turned around. All in all good read though. In one word, insightful.
