Summary: Great Synopsis of WWIII that one can't put down
Comment: Anyone that has ever read Tom Clancy but not read this book is tragically missing out. Anyone who enjoys war or adventure reading of any kind that hasn't read this one is also missing out. "Red Storm Rising" very well may be Tom Clancy's best work, as in a manner absent in many of his other books, it mixes the facets of politics, technology, strategy and riveting adventure and action into one superb piece. Depicting a bloody Soviet invasion of the west, the book never slows down its fast-paced nature as it depicts the war of attrition in Central Europe well while doing an unforgettable job in its telling of the naval war and Battle for Iceland that are occuring concurrently. Jumping from theatre to theatre, readers of most interests will likely find this book to be one of the more thriling and enthraling they may encounter, a component that is further enhanced by the absence of difficulty in the reading. This one doesn't have all of the hollow political babble that much of his new work has, but rather just focuses on an unforgettable original world war III portrayal that I am proud to say, has no rival.

Summary: The Best World War III Scenario Book
Comment: "Red Storm Rising" is the book that made Tom Clancy's name. It is the story of what this country spent the better part of 45 years avoiding: World War III.
As the book starts out, terrorists have destroyed a vital Soviet oil refinery as punishment for Soviet aggression in Afghanistan. As events continue, the USSR is in danger of running out of oil ahead of the nasty Russian winter. What follows is the Soviet attempt to resecure their oil supply.
"Red Storm Rising" is the ultimate scenario played out on paper. Clancy uses his expert grasp of technology and tactics to formulate both believable battle scenes and military strategies for both sides.
More importantly Clancy does much better in this book at character development than he did in his other big-war book, "The Bear and the Dragon". The main advantage the characters have in "Red Storm Rising" is that they don't go around complaining about how terrible war is. Either Clancy didn't see the need to incorporate that annoyance in this book or the characters just did not have enough time to moan and complain.
There likely isn't a better World War III scenario book out there so I'd advise getting "Red Storm Rising".

Summary: Five Stars Hands Down
Comment: I picked this up one day never haven read a Tom Clancy Book. I know what the hype is about. This book takes you right into the action and gets your oriented what World War III would have been like. You'll go from American Subs and Carriers to the German/NATO Front Lines to the Soviet Ground and Air Assault. This book has everything!! Submarine and navy warfare, land and air based, and probably the deadlist, political warfare. If you're like me it'll take you longer than usual to get through this book because I was looking in a Atlas or on the internet for more research into the all the machines, acroynms, maps, and so forth. At the end of this book you'll have new respect and love for geography, world affairs, global warfare, Military structure, Militaries and their cool toys, and the master knowledge and penmanship that is Tom Clancy. A+++
