Kundenrezensionen
Due to an internal terrorist act by Muslim fundamentalists, the Soviet Union needs to find new sources of oil. The Politburo decides to invade the Persian Gulf area and seize the oil fields there. But they are afraid the U.S. would be able to marshal the resources to stop such an assault. So the decision is made to "distract" the U.S. and NATO by launching an invasion of Western Europe.
The action takes place mostly in Washington D.C., Iceland and the North Atlantic, Germany, and Moscow. Clancy brings his usual attention to detail to this work. The strategy and tactics used by each side, if not textbook, are certainly believable.
If you enjoy "What If?" fiction or Clancy's work in general, buy this book.
In all of Clancy's other books, he's at his best when he's describing actual combat. What sets Red Storm Rising apart from the rest of his books, I think, is that he's depicting actual combat during virtually the entire 700+ pages. Just as importantly, though, is that the story portrayed in RSR, and the characters contained within, are more sophisticated and better developed than their counterparts in most of Clancy's other books.
In Red Storm Rising, we follow several major characters - a U.S. army sargeant in command of an M1 main battle tank in Germany, a stealth fighter pilot, the Soviet general who is second in command of their army, the General's aide who is the son of a politburo member and thus very important to his general, Bob Tolland, a US Naval intellegence officer who is ultimately responsible for the US learning the true reasons for the Russions starting the war, Dan McCaffrey, captain of the attack sub USS Chicago, Lieutenant Edwards, a U.S. Air Force meteorologist who is trapped in Iceland when the Soviets invade and becomes a covert spotter for the alies monitoring Soviet activities there, and a US firgate captain who has his first ship torpedoed out from under him and must some how cope with the loss and regain his confidence so that he can command effectively again.
In the context of the year 2000, 14 years or so after this book was written, RSR stands the test of time with two caveats. First, the book was written before the US acknowledged the existince of the F-117 stealth fighter, and so Clancy refers to the F-19 (as it was speculated to have been called before this) and assigns attributes to the F-19 reminiscent of popular speculation before the F-117 was announced. Second, of course, is the colapse of the eastern block and with it the day to day reality of the cold war, which sort of destroys the premise of the book to a degree. None the less, in every other way Red Storm Rising is a classic, and IMHO probably Clancy's best.
If you like Clancy's other books, you will love this one. And if you have found some of his more recent stuff to be tedious and overly political, give _Red Storm Rising_ a try so you can see him at his best. My mom and I have very different literary tastes, but even she really enjoyed it after I convinced her to give it a shot.
_Red Storm Rising_ has no rivals in its description of modern naval combat. And only _Red Army_, by Ralph Peters, surpasses its incredible look at World War III on the ground. I just purchased the hardcover version to replaced my overused paperback. Its a classic that will be enjoyed by readers of all tastes.
Spannend, wirklichkeitsnah, genau, nicht zu ausschweifend und einfach lesenswert.
Immer wieder.
Und Spannung bedeutet, dass unerwartete Dinge passieren - dies ist hier leider nicht der Fall! Lesen Sie weiter...
