There's a 1986 book by David Hobbs titled An Illustrated Guide to Space Warfare, and it can found at these links:

With all due respect, the spaceplane shown at the bottom right corner of the illustration on the book cover of a what-might-have been space war between and US and USSR is the supposed "Uragan" military spaceplane that was believed by the Defense Department to not only exist but also capitalize on design of the BOR-4 suborbital spaceplane. Of course, the DoD's rumors about the USSR working on a military spaceplane were refuted after it became clear following the USSR's collapse that the BOR-4 was merely an outgrowth of the canceled Spiral spaceplane program and also was intended to test the Buran's thermal protection system in real-world re-entry conditions.
