    Red Storm Rising was such a great book. One of the few books that moved here with me.

    I did two tours in Iceland, the first began in 1989 not long after Red Storm Rising was released. Very accurate as far as what was located where on the base.

    It was the accuracy in all those little details that made a lot of Clancy's work so immersive.

    Where's the riots?

    There was a fair amount of metoo looking folks marching with the BLM blocking roadways, looting and setting stuff on fire. Why isn't the BLM supporting metoo?

    They are all resistance/nevertrumpers aren't they?

    Why can't Micheal, Amy and Colin all get together on this?

    :dunno:

    It's been a long time since I read it... I remember the USAF Lt and a couple Marines watching the Soviets unload equipment in (pronounced N-Yardvick) harbor. They were on top of what was known as Dead Man's Hill. My 2nd time there we (accompanied remote 2-year tour with the family in base housing) lived across the street from Dead Man's Hill. When you saw kids sled down it, you knew why they called it Dead Man's Hill.

    While the equipment was being unloaded an Icelander got shot by a Soviet, the Lt remarked that they wouldn't mess with us anymore. Clancy captured a lot in a couple paragraphs right there.

    I re-read it just a couple of years ago, and while some of the tech is outdated (ship to ship transmissions at 20,000 bits of data per second!!!), the story telling still holds up.
