Chains of Command, by Dale Brown is a fascinating creation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that appears to once again occupy news channels in the present. Are the fictional circumstances, characters, and politics different? Certainly, but are there strong parallels,that cannot be denied? Absolutely! Will the world learn from them? We can only hope. | ||||

I write this review having not made it through the book. It felt like nothing was happening, all background to what was going to happen. I didn't get that far. I will try again, and maybe up my rating. But let's get things happening faster, Dale! I usually like Dale's writings, but am having difficulty with this one. | ||||

As you watch the unfolding of world events and headlines this story comes alive. Today's weakened Air Force, more reliance in Reservists combined with an administration driven more by concerns of perception than principle, and key players whose logic you have seen before. Read, enjoy, and hope the story never comes reality! | ||||

A fantasy. But it was entertaining. Some parallels to our current administration. Mr Broiwn writes about the FB111 in a fictional story. I was and is a flying piece of junk. | ||||

A whole lot of detail not to my liking. The action scenes are very good. Gives a good idea of what really goes on in a fighter bomber. The president as a person is weak, for a president, a bit unrealistic. Too many new names, too many different missiles. I got very confused and eventually skipped all those paragraphs. | ||||

A typical Dale Brown thriller. My only complaint with him is that he gets into some very sophisticated weaponry which I have no idea about. It gets a little overdone. | ||||

Tom Clancy has been overwhelmed by Brown in this tale with complicated military designations and plot. Who' son first and please someone give me an index of all the acronyms Brown used. I'm exhausted. Interesting plot. President reminds me of Obama and the First Lady is a conniving bitch. | ||||

This is a story of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, Turkey, Romania and Moldovia. WWIII was averted by retaliation by the U.S., Turkey and Ukraine with Ukraine taking the lead in invading Russia. Excellent story. | ||||

I enjoy military stories. This one was exciting and captivating. Unfortunately, the story took some liberties with historical fact, therefore, I gave it a 4 rather than a 5. | ||||

As a US Air Force Captain with experience of flying B-52s and FB111 fighter-bombers, Dale Brown is considered an authority on everything connected with air warfare. But, as I read `Chains of Command', I found myself sympathising with the refusal of the American President (and First Lady) to accept a standard National Military Command Center Situation Report: the amount of abbreviations and acronyms they contain "would throw these Ivy League grads into a royal tizzy". Despite that excellent advice, Dale Brown insists on including page after page of jargon that, to the average reader, must be meaningless. For example: "He set the right side MFD to the NAV Present Position page, checked that the update mode was in RADAR, then pressed the ENTER FIX Option Select Switch. The reverse video on the ENT FIX legend went out, and the FIXMAG readouts went to zero, indicating a successful position update. Mace switched his right side MFD from the Present Position page to the SRAM Air page and placed the Bomb Data page on the left MFD." Got it? If you can brush aside this gobbledygook, you'll probably enjoy finding yourself strapped into the cockpit alongside the pilot, fighting G-forces as the air-to-air combat around you goes haywire. Despite that plus point, the storyline (to say nothing of that so-called chain of command) is disjointed whilst, with one possible exception, the characters are poorly developed and lack believability. Overall credibility - OK, not Dale Brown's fault - isn't helped by the fact that `Chains of Command' (written in 1993, set in 1995 and reviewed in 2015) deals with an attempt by a fictitious Russian president to annex the Ukraine and restore the territorial integrity of the old USSR. Fortunately, when the very real President Putin had similar ideas in early 2014, he avoided the use of low yield atomic weapons. | ||||
