This revised and updated edition of the classic Cold War novel Team
Yankee reminds us once again might have occurred had the United
States and its Allies taken on the Russians in Europe, had cooler
geopolitical heads not prevailed. For 45 years after World War II,
East and West stood on the brink of war. When Nazi Germany was
destroyed, it was evident that Russian tank armies had become
supreme in Europe, but only in counterpart to US air power. In 1945
US and UK bombers sent a signal to the advancing Russians at
Dresden to beware of what the Allies could do. Likewise when the
Russians overran Berlin they sent a signal to the Allies what their
land armies could accomplish. Thankfully the tense standoff
continued on either side of the Iron Curtain for nearly half a
century. During those years, however, the Allies beefed up their
ground capability, while the Soviets increased their air
capability, even as the new jet and missile age began (thanks much
to captured German scientists on both sides). The focal point of
conflict remained in central Germany-specifically the flat plains
of the Fulda Gap-through which the Russians could pour all the way
to the Channel if the Allies proved unprepared (or unable) to stop
them. Team Yankee posits a conflict that never happened, but which
very well might have, and for which both sides prepared for
decades. This former New York Times bestseller by Harold Coyle, now
revised and expanded, presents a glimpse of what it would have been
like for the Allied soldiers who would have had to meet a
relentless onslaught of Soviet and Warsaw Pact divisions. It takes
the view of a US tank commander, who is vastly outnumbered during
the initial onslaught, as the Russians pull out all the cards
learned in their successful war against Germany. Meantime Western
Europe has to speculate behind its thin screen of armor whether the
New World can once again assemble its main forces-or willpower-to
rescue the bastions of democracy in time.
