I read about the book in Germjan press, which gives it a a mixed greeting. Seesm to compare to Clancy's Red Storm Rising, but more realistic and of course up-to-date. Author has been former Vice-Chieftain (called Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe by traditionalists...

) of NATO, and should know the stuff quite well.

Has anyone read it, is it good, is it if not realistic at least exciting - or is it just dumb and shallow stuff? It gets quite some praise for the accuracy of the military scenario of Russia suddenly attacking and taking the Baltic.
