Review: Ian Slaters book is a good read if you do not mind the military inaccuracys. C130s that, when I was jumping out of them, shoehorned in 65 paratroopers in his book hold 220! The typos, periods in the middle of sentences etc are also disturbing. The cover says "Superior to the Tom Clancy genre", I think not. Clancy is so acccurate it calls into question security clearances, Ian Slater has not done his homework. This could have been a good read if he had done his homework. If you know nothing about the military you might enjoy it.

Summary: Author knows nothing about military equipment or operations.

Review: The premise that the oil in the Siberian tanks would stop them running below -60F may well be true, but -60F would not stop the Siberian tanks that were already running as the heat generated by the running engine would keep its oil well over -60f. This is one example of the many oversights represented in this book. How it can be compared in any way to Tom Clancy's well researched books beats me.
