Enjoyed this outing that sounds like it was following current events ( ) It's not a surprise when a Tom Clancy book is turned into a movie, and I have a chance to watch it on TV. It IS a surprise to me when the elements of Tom Clancy's 2013 book, "Command Authority", seems to be playing out on the International News so quickly after being published instead of being turned into a made-for-TV movie. In this fictional Clancy book, Russian President Valeri Volodin has his eye specifically on Crimea, on exerting his influence in the entire Ukraine, as well as some of the other former Soviet satellite states. In the book, Russian President Volodin recognizes the need to complete his takeover plans before Ukraine opts to join NATO and the European Union. Since President Volodin has control over the state run Russian news media, he's able to foment unrest and unite his Country and Military behind him. Most casual observers of the news during the summer of 2014 will see all these points played out in real life. Russia has taken control of Crimea, and pro-Russian forces are battling Ukrainian military in sections of the Country. Also, Kremlin-funded TV news network Russia Today, has just recently had two news anchors speak out about the network whitewashing Putin's actions and promoting Russian foreign policy. One of the anchors, Sara Firth, recently resigned (July, 2014) due to Kremlin dictating the "news". Life often imitates art, but in the case of this book, Clancy seemed to be very prophetic, making the book all that much more interesting. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
