Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy
π The Supreme Adventure of Our Time
The Terrifyingly Realistic World War III Thriller That the Pentagon Used for War Games
What if World War III started tomorrow?
Not with nuclear weapons. But with conventional forces. NATO versus the Soviet Union. Technology versus technology. Strategy versus strategy.
Tom Clancy didn’t just imagine it. He war-gamed it with Pentagon insiders. Ran computer simulations. Studied classified tactics (that weren’t classified when he found them). Created a future so realistic that military academies made it required reading.
The result? The most authentic portrayal of modern warfare ever written. So accurate it scared both Washington and Moscow.
