''My Experiences in the Third World War'' by Michael Moorcock was an anthology published by Savoy Books in 1980. ==Contents== The short stories: *''Going to Canada'', *''Leaving Pasadena'', and *''Crossing into Cambodia'' concern the adventures of a Russian KGB agent. It takes place in an alternate historical timeline during an apocalyptic world war in which the United States and the Soviet Union are allies. The three stories were supposed to be chapters of a commissioned larger book (to be called ''Reminiscences of the Third World War'') rather than an anthology. However Savoy Books had been convicted the year before in High Court for selling bootleg records imported from America.〔(Savoy Books: My Experiences in the Third World War )〕〔(''Banned, Torn and Quartered: The Story of Savoy'' by David Kerekes )〕 The fines and penalties prohibited the cash-strapped publisher from going forward with the project. The rest of the book was filled up with other material. * ''The Dodgem Division'' was a previously published Jerry Cornelius short story. * ''The Adventures of Jerry Cornelius: The English Assassin'' were extracts of a Jerry Cornelius comic strip co-written by Moorcock and M. John Harrison and drawn by Mal Dean and R. Glyn Jones. It was originally serialized in the International Times from June 1969 ((Issue #57, pg.8 )) to January 1970 ((Issue #71, pg.25 )). The final three stories were written by Moorcock under his ''nom de plume'' of "James Colvin". ''Peace on Earth'' was co-written with Barrington J. Bayley (under his ''nom de plume'' of "Michael Barrington"). *''Peace on Earth'', "two spacefarers () for an answer to the fathomless ennui caused by their immortality".〔(''My Experiences in the Third World War'' )〕 *''The Lovebeast'', Deadly fallout from years of orbital nuclear testing by the world's governments is slowly killing all life on Earth. The Lovebeast, a creature floating above the Earth that has stored Love within itself for millions of years, wishes to Love mankind. Dying artist Charlie Curtis may be the conduit by which the Lovebeast can connect to humanity. Can Love save the human race?〔(''My Experiences in the Third World War'' )〕〔(Michael Moorcock Bibliography > ''Short Stories to 1969'' )〕 *''The Real Life Mr. Newman'' (AKA ''Adventures of the Dead Astronaut''), is about a dying English astronaut who returns to an Earth whose cities have been changed to reflect the moral subconsciousness of their inhabitants.〔(''My Experiences in the Third World War'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Experiences in the Third World War」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
