Red Storm Rising
Tom Clancy-
Red Storm Rising, a World War III novel, begins in a blazing oil field in Russia, plunging readers into a gripping story of plots, strategies, wise men, and idiots that winds the tension ever tighter. Vivid characters emerge through the chaos of battles planned and fought. Sacrifices, heroes, great strategy confounded by bad weather, lack of supplies, and incomplete information draw readers into the adventure and the suspense of reversals. No Rambos here the heroes are ordinary young people caught by chance on the turning edge of war. Sheer grit and perseverance turn the tide in this chilling, fleshed-out war game.
