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.

Red Russia, oil and war.

What did you love best about Red Storm Rising?

Red Russia and their Marxist views failing yet again.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It kept me wondering how bad things could have been if the Soviet Union didn't collapse.

Read it, listened to it and listened to it again!

Classic. Stands up over time. Some interesting parallels and reflections to consider! Athr Audio book is like a two week movie.

Excellent book, plenty to keep you listening

Would you listen to Red Storm Rising again? Why?

I have re-listened to sections of the book, it has quite a lot of detail which suits a second listen

What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Storm Rising?

The battle descriptions

What does Michael Prichard bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Consistency with a lot of the other Clancy books I've listened to. He's become the go to voice of the earlier Clancy novels

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, there is a lot to digest

Any additional comments?

Excellent book, well worth a listen. I would rate it in my top 3 of Clancy novels
