What was the Clancy novel?

Red Storm Rising, I think?

In it, he postulated that the main U.S. reinforcements arrived just in the nick of time to avoid having to use nukes. And he's generally thought to be reasonably good in his military hardware/ideas.

I think his hero-of-all-sorts Ryan was in that book, although Red Storm Rising seems to have dropped out of the "official" Ryan universe.

Red Storm

Red Storm Rising grew out of Larry Bond's wargame Harpoon.

It does not have any [visible] characters in common with the John Clark / Jack Ryan series.
