Chains of Command

Chains of Command is classic Dale Brown, fast paced, action & detail heavy.

The story line is loosely based in reality around the Transnistria War - in the book a section of Moldova declares independence and Russia uses this as a pretext to launch military strikes against Moldova, Ukraine & Romania. Among this tension a passive US President is reducing US military capability and moving active personnel to the reserves in order to reduce budgetary pressure. Russia launches a nuclear, neutron bomb attack against the Ukraine who gains support from Turkey, a NATO ally who then requests US assistance. From this point the action continues with engagements between Russia and Turkey/Ukraine/US.

I really enjoyed this one and despite being 603 show more pages it whizzes by as the action unfolds, definitely worth picking up if you've ever enjoyed a Dale Brown, Richard Herman, Gordon Kent, Larry Bond or Tom Clancy book. show less
