Some quick reading notes…
I’ve been reading Tom Clancy’s 1986 novel, Red Storm Rising.
The book posits a war between NATO and the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
Here’s the odd thing:
Clancy decided to more or less ignore nuclear weapons, making this hypothetical war a solely conventional one. Not a very realistic story choice, but Red Storm Rising would have quickly become a post-apocalyptic novel otherwise.
It’s interesting reading, if you like long battle scenes and the other books in Tom Clancy’s oeuvre.
