Reddit mentions of RED ARMY

I read and liked Red Storm Rising, but that was before I knew enough for it to bother me. (My father, who did ASW work, used to joke with his coworkers about the scene where they remotely detonate a torpedo, though that may have been from Red October.)
If you like tank action, I hear Team Yankee is good, and I quite enjoyed Red Army, both for its perspective shift and its reliance on everything but techno-babble.

Edit: What I mean by techno-babble, when they're describing a column of tanks moving through a blasted village, the author doesn't just rattle off model numbers and call it a day, he describes them very vividly, painting them more as lumbering, animated beasts than machines given designations. I don't think he ever actually gives a model number, ala T-72, throughout the book.

Probably the best one I've ever read was Red Army, by Ralph Peters. It tells the same kind of story (conventional war in Europe, late '80s) from the perspective of the Soviets, and it does a very, very good job of both humanizing them and presenting a more politically realistic vision of how such a conflict would go.

Since this is likely to put a few of you guys on Cold War mode, here's a couple of books that you might not have read dealing with the subject:

Chieftans - Follows a British MBT crew. Written by a tanker.

Red Army - Perspective from the Soviet side. Written by an Army Intel guy.

The Third World War - Written by a British General.
