Story4.5 out of 5 stars 577
This is the book that dares to show us the military hardware, global upheavals, and raw combat a second Korean War would unleash. How F-16s would blast across the 38th Parallel. How ultra-modern submarines would vie for the seas. And how two armies would turn the snowfields of Asia red with blood. A thundering geopolitical thriller of vast scope, this is Red Phoenix - and a new standard for military/political suspense fiction.

This predictive novel explores a potential war between NATO and Russia over the fate of the separatist regions in eastern Ukraine. Lines have been drawn in the sand, but how firm are they? Will the massive disinformation campaign by the Russians trick the new American administration to do their bidding?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 30
In this riveting novel of the French and Indian War, master storyteller Harold Coyle takes us back to a time when America's vast riches were up for grabs. From 1754 through 1759, British and American colonial forces were locked in constant battle with the French and their Indian allies over the great territories of the Ohio Valley. For British army captain Thomas Shields, the war is an opportunity for fame, but the untamed wilderness he finds himself in defies all his expectations of the battlefield.

Dark, chilling eyes. Wilson kicked right rudder to slide closer and jam any chance for a bandit gunshot. When the bandit pulled all the way over, almost on its back but in control, he cursed in frustration at what he knew was coming next.

Then China attacked Europe, Asia, and the United States in the belief the disaster was an act of war. Washington, DC was a casualty of the meteor onslaught that decimated the nation's leadership and left the surviving elements of the armed forces to try to restore order as American society fell apart.

But at this turning point in history, another war is about to explode. To win World War II, the Allies dealt with the devil. Joseph Stalin helped FDR, Churchill, and Truman crush Hitler.

In this stunning novel, Robert Conroy picks up the history of the war just as American troops cross the Elbe into Germany. Then Stalin slams them with the brute force of his enormous Soviet army.

The United States is under attack. From the sea and the sky, the devastating attacks come, crippling the US military's ability to respond. Thousands have been killed and injured. For President Cord Macklin, this is the greatest challenge of his life, greater than risking his life in the skies over Vietnam and greater than guiding the country through some of the most trying times. But none has been more trying than this. Below the sea, a predator stalks the pride of America's Navy: its aircraft carriers. Deadly and silent, this killer seems able to elude all efforts to find it.

Publisher's Summary
During the second half of the 20th century, East and West stood on the brink of war. Nowhere was this more evident than in Central Germany, where 10,000 tanks belonging to NATO stood ready to resist a ground attack spearheaded by 40,000 Warsaw Pact tanks. It was a war that never was. But what if it had? How would the opening days of World War III played out?
Team Yankee, the New York Times best-seller by Harold Coyle, presents a glimpse of what it would have been like for the soldiers who would have had to meet the relentless onslaught of Soviet and Warsaw Pact divisions. Using the geo-political and military scenarios described by General Sir John Hackett, former NORTHAG commander and author of World War Three; August 1985, Team Yankee follows the war as seen from the turret of Captain Sean Bannon's tank.
Through Bannon's eyes, and those of the men belonging to his tank heavy combat team, the listener lives through the first 14 days of World War III. The action is vivid and exciting, the tension palpable. Defeat and death are as close as victory.

They came in the same way, and, we whooped them.
Very interesting and action filled novel. Covers the tactical situation of a hypothetical conventional fight between US and Russian forces in the 80s. As an individual who holds the 19k tank crewman MOS and 11b infantry MOS I can attest to the accuracy of information presented. Very stirring as a soldier who has only participated in counter insurgency operation and not full spectrum peer to peer conflict

Team Yankee ...Final available in audio unabridged
A great war of World War III in which US and NATO face Russia and Warsaw Pact in Europe. A bit dated as it was written some 30 years ago and the cold war has ended. However recent events happening in Europe today may still make the story relevant in todays world.
The story POV from tankers seems realistic and believable, as well as the tactics described.
I have read the book many times and listened to the abridged audio version narrated by Charles Durning repeatedly. Cronin's narration was fine in all respects, I just miss Durning's voice and characterization. That was the sole reason I gave a 4 star for performance.
The unabridged audio version has been a long time coming. Thanks to all who made it possible.

Good story ruined by production ineptitude.
Loved this story when I read it years ago. However this performance was so mismanaged I found it unenjoyable. The actor was very uninvolved and lackluster, but he was only one symptom of this patient's death. Whoever typed up his script made many errors and changed a few sentences entirely. (I checked in my hard copy as it struck me so oddly.). Also I wonder if anyone took the time to listen to this after recording, many mispronounced terms and a couple name switches.

Any additional comments?
Team Yankee takes place before the fall of the Soviet Union. It was originally published in August 1986. It should be approached as an alternate history book rather than a future scenario type book to enjoy it thoroughly. It is a good war story yarn.

High Adventure War Novel
A nuts and bolts fictional war novel that is a great listen. (I finished it in 3 days) I feel it avoids falling into the pitfall of a corny war story very and manages to provide some good human characters and great tension. The book does go into tactics and military lingo so if that does sound like your thing..., otherwise enjoy.

Excellent !
Finally ! a novel that captures (modern) armoured warfare as it would have been, from the tiny details that make every Tankers day a chore, to the adrenaline filled race to engagement, so well described and captured here that it made me nostalgic for the confines of my tank, the smell of main gun, co-ax and sweat, are such a large part of my memories that this book made me want it all over again, the exhilaration of riding atop a 60-70 tonne behemoth charging forward, gun sweeping left and right looking for targets is bought to the fore with the scenarios realistically played out within. An excellent portrayal and one of the best WW3 novels I've read.

I used to read this book in the army years ago waiting for the reds to come over the wall. Living near Birmingham it really brings it to life. I've read it dozens of times. So glad it's in audible, well done Mr Coyle!!! Thanks for the memories

Not as good as I remember it
I read this about 30 years ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. Now I'm not sure if it's me getting older and more critical but the audio version just lacked something. Added to which I can't have noticed the gung-ho America the great overtones first time round but they really grated after a while. Perhaps it was the narrators voice but it just failed to grip.

Cowboys and Indians in Europe. Very disappointing
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
This is so two dimensional and superficial it is hard to believe this is based on any meaningful government report - I hope.

Baor?
i enjoyed the technical depth on being a tank commander. also the build up of emotion and fatigue was very realistic. slightly puzzled to note the absence of any british input. or is this post brexit? the story line is a bit predictable, you can guess the ending but still a fun read if you want the nuts and bolts of living in an armoured box on tracks!

Not Tom Clancy
If you’re looking for something in the vain if Red Storm Rising you are in for a disappointment. Plodding story line, dull characterisation and just not a “page turner”.

Intense, realistic and we'll written...
Really enjoyed this intense and realistic story of what the beginnings of hostilities during a Cold War may look like, taken mostly from the perspective of a platoon tank commander.
We'll thought out and accurate for the most part, with rich, interesting characters and plenty of action.
My only criticism is that it felt a bit rushed towards the end and that, as being British, I felt a little detached with the lack of any involvement , but that's a personal thing.
Very good overall...

It comes across as a biography almost

interesting cold war gone hot book
Writer is a former member of a tank company that was in the area he is writing about. Shows through with the story feeling organic with slang and such. Worth picking up and wasn't as gung-ho America as I expected

I enjoyed it
It was worth listening to, it filled in some time, I had not trouble becoming involved in the story. The characters and descriptions were good. I would recommend this book.
