What was unrealistic for you? As a USMC officer in the 1970's I studied the stopping of massive Soviet tank forces coming through the Fulda Gap, and other scenarios portrayed in the book. I found Red Storm Rising VERY realistic. And an enjoyable read.

I agree. I was an armor officer in the Fulda Gap area in the late ‘70s and a small unit tactical training consultant in the ‘80s.
Loved RED STORM RISING as well as both THE THIRD WORLD WAR books. Also an avid wargamer and reader. We fought NATO paper battles and digital battles many times, ground and naval.
