I like reading Tom Clancy novels but I haven't really liked the latest ones. I read a couple after he died that were intersting enough to listen in audiobook format as I commute to work but I don't really care about Jack Jr going to Iran. Jack Jr's cousins are more interesting.

One Soldier's War. Went in thinking it would be insightful about the second Chechen war. It was about brutality, rape, and incompetence. Except all of this was from the Russian armed forces. Very large grain of truth to that, but then looking further it was written by a peacenik and many characters and events are combined and recalled from memory. Wasn't completely terrible, but a slog to read with personal political undertones.

It's
>out of everything that didn't happen this didn't happen the most: the book

Fucking drivel. If anyone can point me towards an actual book about any former Heer or SS troops joinging the FFL, please list, because this book is fucking toilet paper. So many inaccuracies and plot holes in the first chapter alone, I'm honestly contemplating if I can trudge through to the Vietnam section.

I liked it. The Chechen's are portrayed as even more vicious, and its all about being caught up in a lumbering, inept army while everything around you falls apart.

Disappointing book overall.
60% of the book was focused on his journey and his shameless bragging/self promotion.

jesus he must have been a pain to deal with, in the end i'd guess they realized his propaganda value and decided to humor him.

Fuck the burmese state, total scum.
