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.
