Of all the Clancy novels ‘Red Storm Rising’ was the most realistic.
That book stands out. When I read it (it was new) I was stunned to see mention of so many sites where I myself had actually been to. It literally was about the EUSAREUR strategy for containing the USSR if they were to invade into our western Allies lands.
No other Clancy book was quite like it.
That was the Larry Bond contribution.
