FULL AUDIOBOOK - Tom Clancy - Red Storm Rising [1/3]

[brianbaker]

This was always my favorite Clancy novel

[jeffsargent]

What's scary about this book is when it first came out I was stationed in Germany in the 80s. A lot of US soldiers read it and we're very afraid of its probability

My copy from comments:

No shit true story. I was on board the USS Nimitz, a member of VA-82, one of the two A7-E squadrons on board. I accidentally picked up this book from the ships library, mostly because the cover looked cool, and it was in the pile of donations. Imagine how I felt that here I am in the North Atlantic, literally 15 miles from the Soviet Union, in the fjords of Norway, in my rack reading this book! HFS! BOY WAS THAT SOBERING! AQ2 USN '84-90. This book made me one serious sailor!

Read this book before dessert storm, those new generation weapon was already used here . Whenever tv anchor described new weapon systems used, such as smart bomb and stealth, I expect it.

Funny fact: The Government was supposedly to call Tom into debrief after he released this book . They asked him where he got his information for this book, and his response was from friend and people he knew. They told him his version of what WWIII was better than their theories were.

After this book the Navy developed the arsenal ship concept and the vertical launch system, which was also installed on Spruance class destroyers, which where designed to be sub hunters, not anti air. I reported to the USS O'Brien (DD-827) shortly after this system was installed. Because of this we had the capacity to carry and launch the Standard 1 and 2 missile, but not control it.

Funny how accurate some of this has been shown to be in Ukraine

I'm transfixed by the scenes on the screen. Thank you for your work. Oh, and for up-loading this book.

We certainly did not have 'Russia goes to war with Ukraine' on our bingo cards in those days.

I served on a boat very similar to Dallas and wow, Clancy is so wrong about officers running the plant. We keep officers away from the hardware so they don't bollocks it up and sink us.

However as part of their training, junior officers have to perform a number of different plant evolutions so they can "supervise" (lol). I've stood as over-instruction to officers touching plant controls, and I've never been so nervous. I went to 2 years of grueling school to know how to properly touch that switch. To stand beside them while they touch things is nerve wracking. Because if this junior officer screws up, *I* get disqualified. And just 'cause he's got a master in biomedicine does not mean he can find his own ass with two hands a and a map. My boat, in fact, was built by management, so many components were in unexpected places and it drove the yard birds nuts. So no, we don't let managemt operate controls (and they shouldn't build baits, either)

I've tried to buy this on Audible, but bizarrely, they don't have it. There's plenty of other Clancy audiobooks id like to buy too, like Rainbow 6, but they either don't exist or just rubbish abridged versions.

Don't bother listening. You Tube removed Part 3 . Lets hear it for You Tube .

[weirdshibainu]

I read this in 4 days, staying up until 3 am each day, even though I had to be at work at 7

[Ronald-wvbz]

Recommend not watching video while listening. When watching this awesome video I was completely lost with an equally awesome Clancy novel.

[carloscasal]

When will Red Storm Rising [3/3] be available?

[feuerfrei]

7:30:25 When i first listened to this in 2019 or so i didnt fully understand. Now i do.

“The Tom Clancy Effect”. My name for the impact of these BEST SELLING novels depicting our military as SUPERHEROES!

Shortages of grains due to mismanagement because The Ukraine was part of the USSR and The Ukraine had been a huge supplier of grain from their vast spreads of wheat, rye and millet. Except during The Holdomor when Stalin exterminated Ukrainian farmers and set up many huge collective but inefficient farms. Tens of millions starved in Ukraine because he took all of the grain The Ukraine grew for several years.

Thank you for the upload. I don't think I read this one...
