This is a novel about war, and the people who
fight it.
Harold Coyle s first novel, Team Yankee, was a
New York Times best-seller--a book that Tom
Clancy described as "stunning and powerful," and
General Sir John Hackett (author of The Third
World War) called "a convincing picture of war at
the company level."
Sword Point begins with an army at peace, as
ordinary men and women--soldiers--go about
their daily lives, unaware that thousands of miles
away, the war they have been preparing for is about
to begin--for the Soviet Union is on the eve of
invading Iran to secure its borders against the
spread of Moslem fundamentalism and to seize the
Strait of Hormuz, together with the free world s
oil supply....
Coyle s ability to recreate the fury of battle is
equaled only by his gift for making both the grand
strategy and the minute-by-minute soldier s view
of war equally clear, compelling and fascinating.
But what makes Sword Point special is the human
element: each character in Coyle s huge cast is
unforgettable and sharply etched, from the young
American lieutenant thrust into combat for the
first time to a Soviet officer who is repelled by the
cold inhumanity of his KGB superior.
He takes us from the White House and the
Kremlin to the battlefield, as the life of each char-
acter is changed--or brutally ended--by the rap-
idly escalating war, while the stakes are raised,
with the Iranians reportedly on the verge of assem-
bling a nuclear device
No reader will ever forget the protagonists of
this desperate battle, among them:
~ Lt. Gen. Weir, the American Corps Com-
mander, who must fight and win a war on faraway,
hostile terrain, against superior numbers, or see
his army destroyed...
