While most of Clancy's oeuvre celebrates high-tech gadgets and clear-cut battles of good versus evil, Without Remorse focuses more on the character, struggles and motivations of its hero. Kelly's status is always ambiguous, reflecting the uncertainties of the Vietnam era, and Clancy resists the temptation of making him into a puritan. From the start, he holds secrets from even his loved ones (he won't tell Pam the origin of his SEAL tattoo, for example). While he is a killer, he believes he has justification for each death, and the CIA is more interested in his deadly talents than his criminal record.
For Clancy fans, the insights into the early history of Clark, Greer and others build a sense of realism and depth into the Jack Ryan series. As Kelly becomes Clark, Clancy underscores the sombre sense of resignation and despair that underlies much of the book: "He was working for the Agency now, so Clark was his name. It made it easier somehow." Yet, in the darkness of this moment, one can't help but reflect on what Clark and his CIA will become. It's like watching Batman donning his cape for the very first time. --Patrick O'Kelley -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

As to the gentleman from Liverpool, I understand your concern for the depiction of the left wing during the Vietnam War era. However, I must remind you that Clancy makes it perfectly clear that he stands to the right. While I hardly agree with all that entails, I keep that in mind when reading his books. Do not let that deter you from a good book.
Tom Clancy is very detailed in his analysis and description. He doesn't ever leave the reader in doubt about anything, maybe suspense, but never doubt.
The reason that I didn't give this book 5 stars is that I don't agree with the manner in which Kelly (Clark) decides to take matters into his own hands. I understand that this taking matters into his own hands defines Kelly's character but I feel that it diminishs his integrity as well.
I especially like the sub-plot with the POWs in Vietnam. This part was more interesting to me than the actually Kelly the vigilante plot.
I would still recommend this book, but not to someone that's reading Clancy for the first time. For first timers I would suggest "Hunt For Red October" or "Red Storm Rising".
