Inhaltsangabe

Tom Clancy’s second classic No 1 bestselling thriller – a chillingly authentic vision of modern war – now reissued in a new cover.

Three Muslim terrorists who destroyed the Soviet Union’s largest petrochemical plant thought they were striking a blow for freedom. What they had done, unknowingly, was fire the first shots in World War III.

Desperately short of oil, the Kremlin hawks see only one way of solving their problem: seize supplies in the Persian Gulf. To do that, they must first neutralise NATO’s forces and eliminate their response – and so they develop Red Storm, a dazzling master plan of diplomatic subterfuge and intense rearmament. The battle lines are drawn and Armageddon beckons…
