Command Authority by Tom Clancy et al

Typical novel by the posthumous Clancy and his surviving ghost writers. What is of interest is the uncanny way the plot mirrors the events of these very weeks in the Ukraine. The diabolical leader of Russia, knowing the west will not respond, attacks Ukraine. Completely unprepared, the west does respond with a few extraordinary elite forces and covert operators. Satisfying but unrealistic. Sadly, I think Russia will win in real life.
