Red Storm Rising - Tom Clancy Reviews

AUTHOR: The Author for this book is Tom Clancy. This book does not relate to any other title from Tom Clancy and does not carry on the Jack Ryan story. This is an important issue to note, it is not part of the Jack Ryan Story and is not related to any of his other books. So important I wrote it twice! First Published: ...

I know this book is just about a classic nowadays with the Berlin Wall down and the Russians our friends (unless like me you happen to marry one and then you would still hate them) but I just reread it over the past two days after a guy at work finished it and offered it to me. Wasn't the world wild when we had to worry about WW3 ...

Muslim terrorists destroy the Soviet Union's largest petro-chemical plant thought that they were striking a blow for freedom. But all they had done, unknowingly by them, was to fire the first shots of World War III. The Soviet Union, now desperately short of oil gives the Kremlin hawks only one way of solving their problem: seize supplies ...

Red Storm Rising is the book that introduced me to Tom Clancy and is responsible for me spending vast quantities of money on the books that followed. It is a well-balanced look at what could have happened during the Cold War years. The trigger that sets the cataclysmic events catalogued in this novel, in motion is the attack by Muslim ...

A chance meeting at a games convention between two authors,Tom Clancy already on the Techno-thriller top shelf with The Hunt for Red October and Larry Bond a whizz at war game design resulted in this ultimate 'what if' novel Red Storm Rising. The book plays out the events around the world up to and including the outbreak of World ...

Another great success from Tom Clancy. This time it's another 'what if' scenario but one with enough realism about it to make you think it could happen. The Soviet Union is collapsing after a terrorist attack and sees as its only option the conquest of the west. Before the military attack can begin they must weaken NATO as a political ...

This book is not part of any series written by clancy and there is not really one central hero of the tales just lots of small ones all interwoven. The scene is set back in the bad old days of the end of the cold war when Mother Russia makes one last bid for power after an accident/sabotage at their biggest oil refinery. World war three soon kicks ...

I found that this book is more of a "What If?" story that hypothesizes on how WWIII would have unfolded in Europe between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. It’s not a typical Tom Clancy book. Due to an internal terrorist act by Muslim fundamentalists, the Soviet Union needs to find new sources of oil. The Politburo decides to invade ...

In Red Storm Rising, Tom Clancy gives us - as he always does - a very entertaining and informative vision of what a real military conflict would be like. I never even thought of Iceland as militarily significant until I read this book! The strength of this book is his description of military battles, especially the naval battles. Clancy really ...

Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy. This book was the first order i put through on amazon. After reading loads of other clancy books i realised that id missed a couple of his early bestsellers. Depicting the break out of WW3 after a group of terrorists severly restrics Soviet Oil production by bombing a major oil refinary, clancy demonstrates an ...
