3.0 out of 5 stars A good read, but..., May 24 2004

By A Customer

This was the second Coyle book I read (the first being "God's Children") and once again I was compelled by his gripping battle scenes and poignant view of today's combat environment. The story flows well and was generally enjoyable and engaging.

However, by the end of the book I became disappointed because of the constant, repeated stupidity of the opposing forces. I felt cheated because it never seemed that the U.S. forces won due to good strategy & tactics as much as because the enemy used tactics a learned high school student would shun. Don't get me wrong, the book is a good read. I only wish Coyle would create an antagonist with some brains to serve as a challenging foil for our heroes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best World War III Novel Ever Written, April 16 2004

By	Blair Colquhoun (Saco, Maine USA) - See all my reviews

This is the best World War III novel ever written. Harold Coyle's first novel,Team Yankee, was written in 1987. Four
years before the break up of the Soviet Union. A tank commander in Germany has to fight for his life, and that of
his crew when the Soviet Union and its allies invade West
Germany. (Officially, the Federal Republic of Germany,) and
he must defend West Germany at all costs, with the help of
the West German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, and other
NATO allies. The book begins with actual headlines of the period. The headlines being about the Iran-Iraq War, which
was still going on at the time, and others that weren't actual
but made up. There were also detailed maps. Harold Coyle's books always have lots of maps.
