}}{{Use mdy dates|date=May 2014}} My Experiences in the Third World War by Michael Moorcock was an anthology published by Savoy Books in 1980. ContentsThe short stories:
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.[1][2] 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 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").
PrintingsThe short story The Dodgem Division had first been printed in Speculation magazine (Issue No.23; 1969). The short story Crossing into Cambodia had previously been in the anthology Twenty Houses of the Zodiac by New English Library, Ltd. (NEL) in 1979. Going to Canada, Leaving Pasadena, and Crossing into Cambodia were later reprinted in The Opium General and other stories by Harrap in 1984. The short story Casablanca, the earliest story in the series, was first published in the later anthology Casablanca by Victor Gollancz Ltd. in 1989. All four stories were published together for the first time in the anthology Earl Aubec and Other Stories by Millennium in 1993 and White Wolf in 1999. The Lovebeast (1957) and The Real Life Mr. Newman (1961) were first printed in The Deep Fix anthology (Compact Books 1966). The Deep Fix also reprinted the short stories The Deep Fix (Science Fantasy magazine No.64; 1963), Peace on Earth (New Worlds magazine Vol. 30 – No. 89; 1958), and The Pleasure Garden of Felipe Sagittarius (New Worlds magazine Vol.49 – No.154; 1965). TriviaOriginally, the Russian protagonist of "The Third World War" series was unnamed. In the rewritten version of Crossing into Cambodia from the anthology Earl Aubec and Other Stories, it is revealed that his last name is Bekov and that he is related to the Von Bek family. In the short story Casablanca, he uses the pseudonym of "Erich Volker".
