Team Yankee By Harold Coyle is the best book you could possibly find, the events in the book are based on Hackett's Third World War (Coyle himself says so in the foreword of my copy.)

The Ten Thousand By Coyle follows a different idea of WWIII but is also an entertaining read, because it follows all levels of politics, from the President, to the General, to the man that executes his orders. Those are two in my collection, both great books.
