The Hunt for Red October - Tom Clancy - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book The Hunt for Red October:

Searching for a stray, silent, (Russian nuclear) submarine, at sea.

My favorite Tom Clancy quote from the book:

"Being a victim is more palatable than having to recognize the intrinsic contradictions of one's own governing philosophy."

Questions to ponder while reading The Hunt for Red October:

Why do we allow fear to destroy rationality?

After a certain level, does it make sense to continue to improve technology?

My thoughts about The Hunt for Red October:

AH!  Cold War Thrills

Another piece of fun in a book.

Bart Mancuso was a crush, Scott Glenn did a great job.
