Harold Coyle is the Tom Clancy of ground warfare.
In the not-too-distant future, an assassination attempt against both the U.S. and Egyptian presidents by Libyan terrorists sparks a retaliatory raid by Egyptian forces across that country's border into Libya. As the conflict intensifies, U.S. and Soviet troops are drawn inexorably into a battle that nobody could describe better, more excitingly, or in more fascinating (and knowledgeable) detail that Harold Coyle--for nobody understands better the confusion, the fear, the terrible logic of war, or writes better about mena and women, from generals to foot soldiers, undergoing the terror, the glory, and the pain of the experience. From the cover.
