I once had a very in-depth conversation with Mr. Clancy, on a very late and stormy night in the airport. It was very insightful. (and I leaned we both played “Harpoon”.)
My favorite book was “Red Storm Rising”, based loosely on General Sir John Hackett’s (Former NATO Northern Army Group Commander) novel, “The Third World War”, itself based on NATO’s War Plan for Europe.
Later Harold Coyle wrote “Team Yankee”, about a single unit within the larger scheme of Clancy’s “Red Storm Rising”.
Harpoon rocks
That is really cool. Loved that guys books and characters. What a mind!
