The 3rd world war. According to the author it's breakout will inevitably (for reasons explained in the book) be in one of these years: 2018, 2019 or 2020. In order to be on the safe side, this astrology textbook containing predictions about the 3rd world war was written and published in 2017. And since 2018 is the year closest to 2017 the focus is on 2018 in particular. The first chapter is similar to any other astrological yearbook with diagrams of aspects and catalogues of lucky and unlucky days. 2018 is apparently going to be a happy and prosperous year. There seems to be no indication of disaster. But what if the astrological techniques used in the first chapter are insufficient? The second chapter presents the reader with prophecies made about the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd world war. What are the options that 2018 will be the year, in which the 3rd world war breaks out from an astrological point of view? In order to give the reader a fair chance to answer this question a third chapter was added.
