Couldn't put down this military thriller about Korea

General Pete Goodwin is about to retire after a long and successful army career, when the high-security phone rings. He is to report to the Secretary of Defense in Washington immediately. It is about Korea. Thus begins this exciting story, which is so relevant and immediate I felt I might be reading it in tomorrow's headlines. North Korea has possibly developed nuclear weapons. Pete, who understands the military situation and has a deep respect for the Korean people, is chosen to figure out what's going on and what the US should do. Along the way, a touching romance develops between Pete and Sandy, a young woman West Point graduate who works as his aide. Storm Over the Morning Calm gives the reader revealing glimpses of the delusional decision-making of North Korea's leadership. It takes us inside the conduct of war, helping us understand the complexities of command and communications, the inter-military conflicts over doctrines of how to conduct battles, including lessons learned (or not) from the Gulf War, and the flexibility and creativity that are necessary in the heat of battle. I couldn't put it down.

Given recent events in Korea this is must reading!

The author has been there more than once! You only have to read about recent events in the two Koreas to realize how topical this book is. As the plot unfolds you begin to think that it is something out of the morning papers.Then there is the love story "angle" - the 3 star and the 0-3. It makes you wonder if one or both may get court martialed, but maybe it is just a spin-off from the Monica-Bill story. And, has the author touched a military "nerve"?Great reading. Keep the book handy - the next "chapter" might be reported on national news
