Red Storm Rising

This is my favourite book. I must have read it four or five times over the years, OK so it's dated cold war scenario. Forget this, it's an exciting read, it's as true to life as could be possible, as an ex cold war warrior it has a resonance of truth running through it. It has several central characters and concurrent stories all linked. It's just an awesome exciting action packed read, read. Read!

Very good could be real. Some sort of event could trigger a War. Keeps you gripped all the way through.

While this was a compelling and page turning story which I enjoyed. I do not understand why the publishers/Authors call it a "Jack Ryan Novel" on the front cover - unless I missed something there is not one character in this story named "Jack Ryan" . Never the less it was a compelling story. But it loses a (Red) star for the marketing subterfuge worthy of the KGB and "maskirovka" (strategic deception - as per its use in the story)

Just finished it today. What a story. Clancy has no equal when it comes to stories like this. None of the writers who have taken up his mantle can hold a candle to him.

A very intricate and detailed story about a future war in Europe told through the eyes of several protaganists on both sides of the conflict.Some of the technology is slightly dated now ( it was written 30 years ago), but it is still chillingly relevent today.A fantastic read for anyone interested in military and political fiction.

In the world of today. This is learning to the West of how Putin could react. But, his Navy is not what we thought it was. The Red army showed it lack of abilities. But he Warned

Great read with great plot lines. First read this when it first came out so it’s not current with todays military developments but still one to get your imagination fired up with.Highly recommended

Like most of Clancy's novels, the this is full of great technical detail & characters. Fast action story with protagonists plots & counterplots. Started reading this, but old eyes suggested I switch to the audio version. I'm so glad I did, everything became so much more alive. Highly recommend you stick on your headphones/earbuds & immerse yourself.

The sequence of events, the reality of a possible war against a very dangerous potential enemy, and the ‘failure’ of our current administration to support/fund/and modernize our military forces makes this scenario a real possibility.

As you would expect from Tom Clancy’s original books. Can’t stop reading once it’s started. The ending is a bit abrupt though

In edizione originale, in formato kindle in offerta, l'occasione di rileggere un gran bel libro sulla "III Guerra Mondiale", quella che ci si aspettava di combattere "all'antica" (tra colonne corazzate, convogli, scontri campali in genere) prima che Ronald e Margaret (come scrisse l'Autore) vincessero la guerra fredda. E dopo alcuni decenni di asimmetrie e scenari terzomondiali, la guerra in Ucraina ci ha bruscamente ricordato che "a volte" il nemico va ancora affrontato in battaglie "vere" magari passando da una trincea all'altra. Il volume a suo tempo venne scritto quasi "a quattro mani" con Larry Bond, altro maestro del tecno-militare (leggetevi i suoi notevoli volumi con scenari similari) ed è uno dei primi volumi del Nostro la cui produzione (anche postuma) è poi degenerata in una scrittura in cooperativa incentrata sulla famiglia Ryan. Ulteriore motivo per (ri)leggerlo con rimpianto.

The poor guy wrote this just before the real world stealth bombers were unveiled, cut him some slack for making up a similar system that sounds a bit ridiculous in hindsight.Far less land warfare than I expected. Naval action is very interesting though. Not sure this is a book one would read twice, but it's good fun the first time around.
