Read in one night in 1988 then went to tech school. Just a different take at that time. Nearest thing was Sir Hackett 3rd World War
The greatest Cold War era NATO vs. Warsaw Pact war story ever written.
Reading Clancy novels is informative about geopolitics and military technology and strategy.
one of my fav Clancy books, and I love to read it again and again
I’m a FAN of Tom Clancy since his first book (HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER)
I have ALL of his books in hard back & I like re-reading them.
His books are not for all BUT if you are not sure TRY ONE
This is possibly my favorite book in this genre. It would make a great movie, but the scope of the thing makes that a forlorn hope. This would be a world-spanning Cold War-era conventional war story between western NATO forces and The Soviets and her allies. This senario has been done to death, but this was the first and best of its kind. Not to be missed.
one of Clancy’s first books of speculative ‘what if…’ scenarios in the world of superpowers. absolutely riveting. started Clancy on his way to many stories, that eventually made it to films, exciting reads.
Tom Clancy’s fertile imagination has done it again. Excepting for one, I have thoroughly enjoyed all his books.
Using the latest advancements in military technology, the world’s superpowers battle it out on land, sea, and air for the ultimate global control.
A chillingly authentic vision of modern war, Red Storm Rising is as powerful as it is ambitious.
It’s a story you will never forget.
Hard hitting. Suspenseful.
And frighteningly real.
My favorite book of all time. I’ve read it at least 10 times. Mr. Clancy has assembled a fascinating cast of characters–I particularly enjoy his humanizing treatment of Soviet military officers.
One of my favorite books, in depth world war 3 scenario. Realistic analysis of the impact of modern (height of the cold war) weapons.
A great book on the Cold War and the projections of what would happen when it became a hot war. Well researched and Insightful into a number of vulnerabilities that existed at the time. An exceptional read for anybody who is a historian or military history buff.
If you are a fan of the cold-war-turned-hot genre then this is a must-read. While it’s always a reach to craft a plausible scenario where the Warsaw Pact and NATO would actually get into a shooting war, this book really grabs your attention once the action starts. This was my and “The Third World War” were my “gateway drugs” into these types of books.
It’s written by Tom Clancy..enough said..:) jk I fell in love with the author after having red this and many more of his works but this was my introduction to him way back when.
Interesting in the Tom Clancy series but also very predictable in the outcome while your read you develop a sense of what is to come Still this book is difficult to lay down
