Red Army by Col. Ralph Peters

I just started that one.


I'll have to look for Vortex. Who is the author?

Larry Bond. South African war.

[Laworkerbee]

It humanized the Ruskie for me, made him a person and for that I will always cherish this book.

Vortex and Red Phoenix were great as well.

Vortex is the book that got me interested in Africa in the first place. Now it's part of my career.

I'd add "The War That Never Was" to that list. It focuses more on the flanks of the war in Europe - Norway and the Adriatic, IIRC. Really interesting and well written, and a nice break from Germany. "Vortex" is probably my favorite military novel ever, and "Arc Light" is a great post-Soviet US vs Russia war book.

Another weird one was "Cauldron." US and Poland vs France, Germany and Russia. Too weird for me to really enjoy.

Haven't read either of those....Hello Kindle!

Ordered Team Yankee and Vortex.

We won the war. Shouldn't you be parlezing Americanese?

(I kid, I kid)

No we didn't all the Russians did was re-structure discized as "Communisim Collapsed"

x2 B. I loved it. Been a few years since I read it, so I think I might just read it again.

you are still here? I thought the men from the helicopters caught you

BTW, I am reading Red Army now.

I'll add more votes for enjoying Red Storm Rising, Team Yankee and War that Never Was. Red Phoenix is also great although I'm not sure if it qualifies as WWIII fiction.

Read "Trial by fire" by Harold Coyle, if you want a little Mexican spicy flavor to your techno-thriller.
