…Team Yankee "Having somehow reached the age of 38 (shut up, I know the grey hair, bags under the eyes and bristling moustache makes me look older but I once got mistaken for ‘a tough 30' and I will take that with me to the grave) and not even picked up a copy of Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising let alone read it, it was time to rectify that. And  if that didn't hit a moment too soon. Where has this book been all my life? The answer is of course right in front of me with people loudly shouting ‘Mike you should absolutely read this book' and me listening to what amounts to the Magic Round About in my head and endless circuits of Ric Flair shouting ‘wooooo!'…" link link Armand |

Interesting. Read the book shortly after it came out. Good but have forgotten the details. Have team yankee on my shelf though. Pull it out from time to time for inspiration. |

Agreed. An excellent book about an event which, thankfully, never took place. Who knows about now though? |

Great article. Thanks for sharing. In addition to "Red Storm Rising" (which I loved back in the day), those interested in other WWIII books might enjoy the following: "Red Thrust" by Steve Zaloga; "First Clash" by Kenneth Macksey (for a look at the Canadian point of view); and "The Third World War" by General Sir John Hackett. I enjoyed them all and they inspired many a modern micro armor game. |
