I appreciate the fact that, while this book is most certainly biased and takes every chance it gets to decry the soviet system and communism in general, there are some American characters who aren't exactly pillars of society.

I love how Clancy zooms in on random characters and gives them a detailed backstory for them to only appear in the book for 3 pages.

Clancy's writing once again stuns me. It is so descriptive and detailed. I did not expect this book to be packed with religion but it is a welcome addition. :)
Quotes: "Marxism-Leninism [is] a jealous god." And "Marko became individual in his thinking, and so unknowingly committed the gravest sin in the Communist pantheon."
