Format:Taschenbuch
The story is politically unthinkable and militarily rubbish. It is frightening, to see how many people are buying this kind of book and how easily a weird story is bought. Someone in posession of a map could ask why the march was made through Germany when Italian or Slowenian or Coatian harbours are a mere 3-400 mls? Patriotism is ok, but this is just blind-eye-we-are-the-champions chauvinism. Even worse, to be able to sell the story, other nations are offended in a rather ugly way. Maybe for foreign readers the storyline could be changed: American President (from Giorgia eg) reintroduces slavery and the Canadian Army marches to Texas ...
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
That anybody could take that story seriously makes me doubt the intelligence of the average reader of military fiction/thrillers. Both, the politics as well as the military action, are implausible, as is the scenario itself (it was implausible even by the time the book was written).

"The Ten Thousand" is a breath of fresh air to what had been a stale genre- military fiction. When I began to read I braced myself for another of Harold Coyle's dull Clancy clones, yet I found myself enjoying "The Ten Thousand" immensely.
The story- the fanatically anti-American leader of Germany captures nuclear weapons taken by U.S. forces from the Ukraine, forcing the U.S. Army's X Corps to fight their way across a hostile country to recover the weapons - is a welcome change from the renegade Russia scenarios that authors like Dale Brown cannot break free from.
The historical allusions to Xenephon's Ten Thousand and the medieval warfare were wonderful for this ex-history major to read. Coyle clearly put some thought into this story.
The only flaws to Coyle's story are his unrealistic portrayals of the decision-making process in Washington.

Who is friend? Who is foe?
This is a well-constructed, though somewhat far-fetched, story of a series of idiotic mistakes leading to a noble, though chauvanistic, military campaign. Lesen Sie weiter...

Crazy premise, but good small unit action
OK, so the premise is pretty crazy and it the Washington DC sections are a little much. The fact is that descriptions of the battles are really good. Lesen Sie weiter...
