A great read! If you read the book (or even if you didn't), DON'T bother
with the movie. The movie deviates from the book in a liberal Hollywood
attempt at "political correctness" and changes the nature of the true
enemy. Afraid to have radical Islamists as the enemy, the movie villains
are Russia et al. Movie action packed and an insult to the book.

A whole chapter devoted to less than a second of nuclear fission/fussion reaction. That's Clancy for you. Wonderful.

About the author
A little more than thirty years ago Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore’s Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October—the first of the phenomenally successful Jack Ryan novels—sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it “the perfect yarn.” From that day forward, Clancy established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. He passed away in October 2013.
