About this listen
When Moslem fundamentalists blow up a key Soviet oil complex, making an already critical oil shortage calamitous, the Russians figure they are going to have to take things into their own hands. They plan to seize the Persian Gulf, and more ambitiously, to neutralise NATO. Thus begins Red Storm, an audacious gamble that uses diplomatic maneuvers to cloak a crash military build-up. When Soviet tanks begin to roll, the West is caught off guard. What looks like a thrust turns into an all-out shooting war, possibly the climactic battle for control of the globe.

Great WW3 story.
Good cast of characters, and a believable plot line. Narrator was good, but took some getting used to at first.

Not a simple tale
This is one of the best of Clancy’s books. It is a standalone story that resonates in the current 2022 climate. There are obviously some dated parts but it doesn’t detract from the story.
The narrator did a good job with the characters and I enjoyed his reading.
Well worth the time as it is a long book at over 35 hours.
