Red Storm Rising was. His best work

I first read this book in 1986. I was taking a break from studying for the Florida Bar exam and I stopped by a bookstore in the local mall just as an associate was setting up the display for this book. In this pre-internet age, I did not know that this book was coming. I bought a copy, raced home, and read this book in...a...single...sitting!

Funny, I'm currently listening to the 30+ hr. audiobook and I can say with confidence your videos add a lot of value. Good job. First read this book at a much younger age when it first came out and yet it's more relevant today than ever. Love Clancey's contribution to our culture. He de-mystified the military industrial complex for us plebs.

People today rarely have an appreciation that the Cold War was a real war in which many people died. Also, many today have no understanding that self-described "Communists" in Russia & elsewhere really did try to take over the world after WW2 and until the USSR collapsed. (BTW, the Russians got back to it as soon as they were able.) I recall being at the U of MN in the mid-1980s. One day, my history major and Army ROTC roommate came home, amazed. He'd just learned in one of his classes that day that the Russian government had had, for many decades at that point, an entire "playbook" of dirty techniques to mind-control their own populations and to influence, subvert, overthrow and conquer the populations and governments of target countries. The so-called Cold War was a real war fought against active aggression, which we in the West have been facing for decades now again from Russia and China. Communism sounds great, in theory. In practice, Communist purists need to govern with absolutely murderous, repressive dictatorships where any opposition is terrorized and killed in plain view, permanently "disappeared" or imprisoned in "reeducation camps". My roomie told me that in the effort to create a so-called Communist, egalitarian society, killing any number of "unenlightened" people who resisted was considered to be necessary and acceptable, the mentality being, "to create our utopian omelette, we need to break as many eggs as is necessary". That's how, for example, the Cambodian genocide in the 1970s, is justified.

Dude! Thank you so much for this incredible visual of a novel. I read back in 87 while stationed in Germany. This is incredible to see and “relive“😎

I've read Red Storm at least three times and I've enjoyed it each time. But this... This is brilliant! I think you have invented a new method/medium to deliver a book. At least the combat scenes! I served 10 years in the Canadian Navy and the part where the Reuben James was defending against the missiles took me right back to the CPF operations room. I could just about smell that distinct smell of fuel, floor wax and anxiety so recognizable on any warship. The Videography the music... spot on. The narration is also really good. Bravo Zulu!

Man, you do some awesome work. Visualizing this crazy long novel is so much better the way you put it together. I appreciate you.

I read Red Storm in the 1970’s after 7 years in the Army Security Agency. We were close with the civilian electronic intelligence agencies. I wnt in at 17 withe the LAPD explorer scouts and having been a high school history and intel geek. This stuff was my meat and potatoes. From the first Clancy owned my attention. His passing hit me hard. He made being an intel geek cool and relevant with out being a Doctor Strangelove goofball. I’m in my 70’s now and still love the games man ship of his works. I am so glad my kids and grand kids listen nd are Learn8ng to understand what was and is possible in this world. Clancy certainly had a way with words. We need a new Clancy.

but the visuals at 26:02, the slow tracking through the field towards the warehouse, doesnt match the narration, until the scene cuts to the subs

The 80’s inspired cinematic action music is the icing on the cake

I took my son to Barnes & Nobel to get books he needed for school and while I was browsing, I saw the Tom Clancy section. I haven't read any of his books in 20 years. So, I got Red Storm Rising, Hunt for Red October and Without Remorse. I had forgotten how good they all were. As a rabid DCS fan, I am doing my best to recreate some of the memorable scenarios as best as we can in DCS. Fun.

This Book Had me joining the Navy as a P3-C update-III ASW aircrewman and later helicopter crew as a helo rescue swimmer when I joined all AW's like myself had to go through both training programs, now you get to choose is my current understanding. I ended up getting to deployed on several occasions to Keflavik Iceland, I can still see Kef in my mind when rereading the book months ago...

This "series" should receive Oscar. Amazing! I am out of my words....

The book was great, listening to the audio book several times was also great, but with this animation added to the audiobook is awesome.

Those F-14 shots were gorgeous. Very well done.

Have read RSR many times over the decades, but your visualisations add a wonderful new dimension to it. Reuben James and Battleaxe turning away from each other, the Tomcat hiding in the clouds, the Grisha not noticing Chicago behind her...just perfect!

I am certain that Tom Clancy himself is nodding approvingly in heaven. The only criticism I have is that HMS Battleaxe wasn't a Leander class ship, but a Type-22. Other than that: I just bought a Tom Clancy audiobook because of these videos (Not this one, though, I got Clear and Present Danger).

Red Storm Rising is one of the best books I have ever read. Tom Clancy must have been extremely well connected to be so informed. It was the tank battles and the ground war in Europe that got me. It's a superb read, and this video makes me feel quite nostalgic! Awesome job.

Love this. Second listen. Takes me back to that entire lost weekend when I was 15, where I read Red Storm Rising cover-to-cover.

The board game was turned into a computer game (played it a lot in college in the late 80's, miss it greatly). Again, if I remember correctly, the person who developed the original game was Larry Bond, who went on to be a best selling author in his own right.

Great story! I hated school but I loved reading that book. So when I have to do Saturday detention that gave me three long Saturdays to read this book a large hardcover version of it back in the '90s

I just can't comprehend the effort and time that would have been needed for this. We salute you!

I’m pretty sure they used vectoring from the E2C and then visually shot the Phoenix using the camera. This was the main reason for the Phoenix/F14 system. You could fire air to air from 60 miles out without going active.

This is great, better than any new movie playing right now.

I read this book for the first time when I was in the Navy on deployment to the Med back in '90. I always considered "Red Storm Rising" to be Tom Clancy's best work.

Red Storm Rising was the first big book I have read at the age of 12. My uncle asked me - "You are interested in military and aviation? Read this." and handled me a copy. It was amazing. Today 30 years forward I own so many modules for DCS - this is the most $ I have ever spent for entertainment. Good job with those cinematics. 👍🏻

This video was the best yet! Your ability to make the weapons act as the story describes is an amazing level of detail. It's a shame that youtube forced you to ruin the Providence sequence, for no reason I could see (how is seeing a missile damage a submarine's sail more traumatic than seeing planes being shot down or destroyed by cruise missiles?
