Summary: A confusing slow read
Review: I was disappointed in this book after reading Team Yankee (a five star read). The author writes from several viewpoints-Russian advisor, Russian commander,bad American commander, Libyan commander, different American soldiers. However it just doesn't work. Many of the characters were either not well developed or I just didn't care about them. It seemed like maybe the author was trying to do too much in one book.

Summary: Good, but has weak points
Review: It's a bit outdated now (US helping Sudan and not bombing it...), but possible in early 90s. I found annoying that aouthor explains military terms (I know what SAM stands for and probably anybody else who reads military books). Maybe it lacks Israeli intervention, as they would surely have some part in it.

Summary: Fast paced, lots of action, full of twists
Review: Sword Point starts off a bit slow, but once you get into it, you will want to read it twice. The book is full of many twists to add to the plot. You really get to know the tactics that both sides of the conflict use. These tactics seem real enough to actually be used, in fact, you start to wonder why they haven't been use yet. If you love Tom Clancy style novels, then I suggest you pick this one up.
