Rereading another great book from Tom Clancy. I am reading the new Amazon Kindle version of this as well. Have noticed maybe a dozen or more mistakes in the text, many times a '1' in place of a 'i'. Anyway, I am glad it is out for the Kindle - the way Amazon handles that is cool too: if an updated version comes available, I have the right to get the revised (better edited) version for free.

Red Storm Rising, by Tom Clancy, is an excellent war book. It doesn't simply launch the reader into a meaningless war, but instead takes time to set up the USSR and NATO, give legitimate reasons, and then fully describes the battles and in-war politics. The book gives great insight into the technology of the Cold War and the tactics employed by both sides. I would highly recommend this book both to those who lived during the Cold War and to those who did not. A deeper appreciation of the peace during the Soviet Era develops as the reader reads of the bloodshed and utter chaos of war, and not of glory.
I read this when I was in 6th grade. I have always had a very adult reading level. I sometimes did not understand some of the words, though I found myself using a dictionary a lot while reading this one. It really describes what it may have been like had the USSR and the USA turned the cold war hot. There were many things I liked about this book. I learned a lot about action from reading Clancy.

Good read
A classic thought experiment on a Soviet invasion of NATO, as told the way only Clancy can. Recommended for the military thriller types.
