The American tanks smashed through the snow blockades in the terrible minus-seventy-degree Arctic battle. But they were outnumbered by troops of the Siberian Republic by five to one. In this, the worst winter in twenty years, blizzards wreaked havoc with U.S. air cover, and the smart money was on the Siberians. Their forebears had destroyed the Wehrmacht at Stalingrad. Now they would do the same to the Americans--unless the colorful and highly unorthodox U.S. General Feeman could devise a spectacular breakout....

3.0 out of 5 stars
Arctic front good but lacks any action,
By A Customer
This review is from: WW III: Arctic Front (Mass Market Paperback)
I am sick and tired of all the people complaining about Ian Slater's errors for units or weapons names or weight! Who cares? The names have nothing to do with the plot!Now to Arctic Front, it was a interesting well thought out book but lacked action. I also didn't get why one division(31st) would attack Freeman's army? Anyhow I thought the book was good enough to read and I plan to read the sequels

Now, what just happened here?,
By A Customer
This review is from: WW III: Arctic Front (Mass Market Paperback)
WW III: Arctic Front, The fourth installment in Ian Slater's WW III series, was sub-average in many areas, including plot, action, and military accuracy (if you've read my reviews of previous books in the WW III series, you'd have guessed this by now). For example, there was a nuclear exchange between the U.S. and the USSR in the author's previous book, WW III: World in Flames, but it seems totally forgotten in Arctic Front. There were some problems regarding equipment names such as the AGM-86B cruise missile (Slater called it the 86-B), and in the text for some reason Slater decided to spell "M1A1" as "M-1 A-1". And what's this? It seems that Ian Slater is under the impression that F-15E Strike Eagles can be launched from aircraft carriers!! @#%&*!!!! How such a glaring error made it past the editor (I sometimes wondered if there IS any for this book) is beyond me. But if you don't mind these defects and errors, and you're a fan of the WW III series (despite all I've just said, I still am to some degree), then read Arctic Front

WWIII: Artic Front has severral glaring errors,
By
This review is from: WW III: Arctic Front (Mass Market Paperback)
WWIII: Artic Front has many glaring error. For instance, in the previous book there was a nuclear exchange near the end but in this book they are already launching subs from a base that took a direct hit by a nuclear missle. In addition, General Freeman found time to fight in the Gulf War when he was leading the army in korea and europe. He was also able to lead the fighting in Minsk and lead the russian surrender precedings as he was being held captive by the chinese. If you can let go of those error the book is still enjoyable to read.
