About this title

Review:

With these two superpowers at loggerheads over Syria right now, this is a timely fictional reminder of how things could suddenly turn really nasty for the entire world. The writing is so vivid it's sometimes difficult remembering this is fiction and not an account of a real-life episode in the cold war... -- Paul Norman Books Monthly Being a former armored officer has given Harold a better insight as to the inner workings of a team and therefore also given him a unique perspective when he wrote this book... a great piece of literature and all those who start it will have trouble putting it down until they are finished. Armor Modeling and Preservation Society ...not meant to be a blueprint for history, but a plausible outcome for what might have been. In this the author succeeds wonderfully, and actually makes you care about Team Yankee and its soldiers. A Wargamer's Needful Things
