Summary: Clancy at his best.
Review: _Red Storm Rising_ is undoubtably Tom Clancy's finest book. It depicts an all-out war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the mid-'80s. While the political reasoning behind the Soviet invasion is a bit far-fetched, the description of modern-day land, sea, and air combat is riveting. In contrast to some of the one-dimensional characters in Clancy's other work, this book features two unforgettable ones: Lieutenant Mike Edwards, codenamed "Doghouse", an unlikely hero who leads a squad of Marines trapped in Soviet-occupied territory, and General "Pasha" Alekseyev, who commands the Red Army with brilliance and courage in spite of his own mixed feelings. If you like Clancy's other books, you will love this one. And if you have found some of his more recent stuff to be tedious and overly political, give _Red Storm Rising_ a try so you can see him at his best. My mom and I have very different literary tastes, but even she really enjoyed it after I convinced her to give it a shot. _Red Storm Rising_ has no rivals in its description of modern naval combat. And only _Red Army_, by Ralph Peters, surpasses its incredible look at World War III on the ground. I just purchased the hardcover version to replaced my overused paperback. Its a classic that will be enjoyed by readers of all tastes.

Summary: Clancy's only good book
Review: My first ever Clancy book is brilliant. It's probably not very realistic but who cares. There is plenty of Action and suspense and story. Now why couldn't Clancy stick to this type of writing instead of boring the pants off of us, with tedious, long winding plots

Summary: It's REAL! Certinly one of my favorites.
Review: Certinly one of my favorites.Warld War III.So real that after reading I was affraid it will hapened any moment(I live in Poland).Shows many sides of war :airforce,tanks,recon,navy.Shos technical side of war, from single soldier point of view.Like "Firefox"-by Craigh Thomas or "Flight of the old dog" - by Dale Bown. One of my dreams is that somebody will write book like this set in year 2000. Imagine all new technologies and ideas

Summary: Red Storm Rocks
Review: I was alittle skeptical about this book. I had not read Clancy before, and I'm normally a reader of SF and Fantasy. I have to say however, that I was completely blown away by this book on every level. The plot involves a Soviet oil disaster which forces the Soviet government to attack NATO to recover their oil. The war that ensues is amazingly told by Clancy. One note I feel should be made is that the book was written in the mid 80s, and so is a bit dated, considering the "Soviet" government is not there anymore, but it's easy to read around that :)

Summary: One of the best
Review: This has become one of my most favorite books that I have ever read. This is by far the best "War" novel I have ever read and was the fastest 725 pages of my life. A must read for all.

Summary: Brilliant! Action-packed!
Review: This has to be Clancy's best! It's packed with nothing but military action. If you want to read a novel about war, without all the political, economic, or technological commentary (as in some of his other books), read this one! My favorite!

Summary: 11 Stars!
Review: This book was incredible. It could've been used as a blueprint for the third World War. This book grabs you and does not let go. A few particular chapters that in my opinion are the most engrossing of all time; The Frisibees of Dreamland. Pick this book out now.

Summary: Clancy Gives Us One Hell Of A Ride
Review: 'Red Storm Rising' is a remarkable look at a Soviet attack on NATO. Clancy, a master of making the complex understandable, gives a meticulously researched senario in which after an internal crisis, the Soviet leadership decide that thier only recourse is war. As with most Clancy novels, the characters are many and sometimes seem a little one-dimensional, but that hardly detracts from his fast paced story and action filled plot. A must for Clancy fans and a great read for lovers of military fiction.

Summary: This book is undoubtedly my favorite, Comrade . . .
Review: This masterpiece that Tom Clancy has created is so thrilling, I suggest you sit down while reading it. It starts when an old Soviet oil refinery is blown up by Islamic terrorists, but doesn't end there. Not a chance. This random act of terror engulfs the entire world, when the Soviets decide they must take oil from the Middle East. They first must cripple NATO, and start the worst, non-nuclear war imaginable . . . RED STORM
