4.0 out of 5 stars Armoured warfare and its use by the US Army in a nutshell, 1 Sep 2001
By A. D. Smith (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book by Tom Clancy, the renowned novelist, is a fascinating cross-section into the core of any US army rapid reaction force: the Armoured Cavalry Regiment. His factual writing is as good as his fictional writing and he sensibly begins by explaining the basic principles of armoured warfare to the reader. He continues, detailing the organisation, training, and equipment of an ACR in a smooth, flowing fashion that again reminds the reader of his novels. He also includes two interviews, one with the daring officer who led a troop of Cavalry in a glorious victory against an Iraqi brigade in the battle of 73 Easting, and another with General Fred Franks, Ret., who led the key Coalition ground forces in the attack to liberate Kuwait. He rounds off a splendid book with two "real world" scenarios in which the ACR is seen in fictional action to demonstrate what the reader has read and to allow Tom Clancy's fictional talent to show itself. I have only one criticism: that the book was made more accommodating for US publishers. It is difficult to find a favourable comparison of the US Army to any other army for the obvious reason: the publishers hate pro-someone-else material, quite excusably; after all, the American readers wouldn't like anything which would make their army sound worse than someone else's. This made me choose a 4-star rating instead of a 5-star rating but does little to make the book worse to read. All in all, I highly recommend this excellent book.
