Summary
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.

Interesting listen.
Very interesting listening to this and what has currently been happening in the Ukrainian war. Would recommend it to anyone who likes war novels. Plus it's a nice change of perspective to be told from a tank crew.

Great story, meh narration
A great story, as strong as it was when it was newly written - let down slightly by the narration which seemed to stumble over a few of the military nuances.

Excellent !
Finally ! a novel that captures (modern) armoured warfare as it would have been, from the tiny details that make every Tankers day a chore, to the adrenaline filled race to engagement, so well described and captured here that it made me nostalgic for the confines of my tank, the smell of main gun, co-ax and sweat, are such a large part of my memories that this book made me want it all over again, the exhilaration of riding atop a 60-70 tonne behemoth charging forward, gun sweeping left and right looking for targets is bought to the fore with the scenarios realistically played out within. An excellent portrayal and one of the best WW3 novels I've read.

Baor?
i enjoyed the technical depth on being a tank commander. also the build up of emotion and fatigue was very realistic. slightly puzzled to note the absence of any british input. or is this post brexit? the story line is a bit predictable, you can guess the ending but still a fun read if you want the nuts and bolts of living in an armoured box on tracks!

A Thriller!
As good a story as I remembered, reading it first back in the 80s when I was in uniform. I was a disappointed in the narration as I felt the performance was just too morose and the characters weren't allowed to come alive as they did when I first read it. Still a thriller, even if events have since passed it by. Made me glad I joined the Airforce though 😏
