Cold War fiction that isn’t Clancy or W. E.B Griffin

[FtWayneGeek260]

Well, like the title says, I’m looking for some new recommendations to either read or listen to. I’m a huge Clancy fan, read The Hunt for Red October every fall. I just finished Red Storm Rising for probably the 7273rd time. (In my humble opinion, his best work) I just….always seem to read the same books to scratch the Cold War itch. Anyone got any hidden gems I need to know about?? Anyone dig a fallout shelter with there dad??

Against all enemies by Harold Coyle. Not cold war but still a good book

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is an amazing movie. Had no idea it was also a book

Larry Bond. His novels from the early 90’s are fantastic. Red Phoenix, Vortex and Cauldron.

He also co-authored Red Storm Rising and after reading his other books I think his contribution to Red Storm was greater than Clancy’s.

I'm not a big reader, but you can't go wrong with John Le Carré.

The Third World War: August 1985 by Sir General John Hackett. One of many I as an '80s teen read.

Dale Brown - Flight of the Old Dog will get you started.

The most recent ones (after 2000?) are a bit more sci-fi, but the early books are top notch secret Air Force stuff.​

Mark Greaney - Gray Man series.
Brad Thor - Scot Harvath series.
David Poyer - Dan Lenson series. Naval surface action from the 70's into the near future.
Brad Taylor - Pike Logan series.
Richard Herman - mainstream Air Force stuff.
