Summary: An Excellent Update of WORLD WAR III, 1984
Review: Tom Clancy updated and improved upon WORLD WAR III, 1984 written by a Nato general I can't remember. He used the Fulda Gap and a single ICBM exchange as guideposts, then added subs and Russian polical intrigue and created an environment that Larry Bond and others added to. Team Yankee (I can't remember the author) took place in a microcosm of this environment. Larry Bond wrote the story where the Russians won because the "pair of deuces" counterattack did not get rolling soon even to prevent German politicians from cracking.Clancy's book shows how the leverage of superior technology can play a decisive role at critical junctures in combat. Clancy was right about the decisive advantage that the M-IA with its SilverBullet sabot round has over the T-72 and T-80. There is more here than techno-babble if you care to look.

Summary: another Impressive Preformance by Tom Clancy
Review: This was as excellent a book I have ever read. Tom Clancy seems to grab tactics he uses in his writing out from the blue, things that generals would never think of. His accuracy and realistic approach to a tale of World War will never be matched.

Summary: One of the most fascinating books Clancy has ever written
Review: the book from beginning to end gives one of the most chilling tales to date, about how WWWIII could start and who would start it. It also tells how the U.S. would be involved and play a part. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is a war nut, and would love to understand more about how the latest tehnology would be used, and Clancy delivers one of his best ex ever and can be read over and over again.

Summary: The absolut best book of its genre
Review: Having been in the Infantry and Field Artillery for 9 years, this book is as real as it gets. Tom Clancy is so accurate (as usual) in his descriptions and scenarios. I couldn't put it down when I first started reading it. Read this book many times over when I was in Kuwait during Desert Storm (It was the only book I had with me and there wasn't much else to do but kill rats and flies). I never got bored of it though!

Summary: Tom Clancy's best!
Review: This is one of the few books ever written that can be read time and again and still keep you totally riveted each time. I have read all of Clancy's books and this is by far the best.

Summary: fast paced and exciting science fiction novel
Review: Red Storm Rising Tom Clancy Red Storm Rising is a fast paced and exciting science fiction novel authored by Tom Clancy. Although not noted on the cover or title page, Larry Bond also contributed a great deal to the story making the story more realistic from a military perspective. About the collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia's attempt to over take the Atlantic so they can launch an offensive against the United States of America and other NATO countries such as Britain and Germany. First, terrorists attack a large power plant in Russia. The Russians make it seem as if someone from the "outside" attacked them so they can "counterattack". They invade part of Germany and Iceland. Taking Iceland is an important step because this allows the Russians to reach farther into the Atlantic and possibly into North America with their aircraft. This also disrupts the anti-submarine line that the Americans have across the North Atlantic. When the Russians attack Iceland, that starts a war that the Russians start so they can obtain more territory and more materials for more war campaigns. The Russians' greed causes them a great deal throughout and after the war. This book is interesting, especially if one likes wars, battles and suspense. This book is unique because the story is told through many different eyes. Tom Clancy tells the story through the eyes of the Russians and the NATO. Under these divisions, he also goes into the lives of different people in the war i.e. he tells the story through the eyes of many naval captains in both surface and underwater boats, through the Commander in Chief of the Atlantic (American), and through the Politburo (Russian, like cabinet of the president). Some of the vocabulary is hard to understand e.g. titles of names: CINC-West, Commander in Chief-West, however; after reading on, the reader can figure out what they mean. There are some Russian words whose meanings can only be guessed. Most of the many characters are very believable. Although there are many characters and the story is told from multiple points of view, one can figure out most of the characters attitudes and descriptions throughout the book. Red Storm Rising is a science fiction book about the dangers of greediness and war. Since the Russians are greedy and want more land and materials such as oil and coal, they become desperate and end up loosing, since they are already in need of many things before the war, they are even more needy because of the war. Although the book is long, I enjoyed it because of the war scenes and suspense of not knowing 'what will happen next'.
