 ==Books by Tom Clancy==
-*''The Hunt For Red October'' (1984) - introduces [[Jack Ryan]] as a CIA analyst who gets caught up in the biggest field operation in decades when a highly respected Soviet navy sub captain decides to defect. The obvious benefits of [[capitalism]] as opposed to corruption and inefficiency of [[communism]] are major theme.

-*''Patriot Games'' (1987) - the back story of [[Jack Ryan]], former marine lieutenant who stops a terrorist kidnapping in [[London]], and is then himself targeted by the terrorists. The story has recurring reflections on how terrorism can be most effectively dealt with by international military and political cooperation, not to mention exposes the liberal folly of regarding terrorist as legitimate soldiers in an ideological conflict as opposed to criminals who have abrogated the civil rights of others who should be dealt with as criminals.

 *''Cardinal of the Kremlin'' (1988) - "Cardinal" is a spy passing Soviet secrets to the US.  Partly set in [[Afghanistan]] during the Soviet occupation.
 *''Clear and Present Danger'' (1989) - Central America and drugs are the focus - distrust of reporters and politicians is a theme.
@@ Line 14: / Line 14: @@
 *''Executive Orders'' (1996) - continues where ''Debt of Honor'' left off, with Jack Ryan bumped up to President of the United States, just in time to deal with a new threat in the Middle East. It also features many corrupt liberals as enemies, who oppose the new [[conservative]] government, and who use many extralegal means throughout the book to topple the new President's conservative reforms. Further, the book addresses how liberals have corrupted the US tax code to their own benefit and how similar corruption in the American legislature allowed abortion to become federally protected.
 *''SSN'' (1996) - based on a video game.  Set on the Los Angeles-class submarine USS Cheyenne during a war with China.
-*''Rainbow Six'' (1998) - [[John Clark]] leads an elite counter-terrorist group - biggest challenge is global eco-terrorists. The book also contains strong themes reinforcing the need for nations to act decisively and cooperatively in a military sense when dealing with terrorism, as well as the danger of allowing unchecked power by corporations acting as if they were nation states.

 *''The Bear and the Dragon'' (2001) - "Bear" is Russia, "Dragon" is China, details a fictional conflict between the two involving the Russians discovering massive amounts of oil and gold at a time when the Chinese economy is at a nadir, so they invade Russia to obtain both, but America decides to intervene on behalf of the Russians.
 *''Red Rabbit'' (2002) - a Soviet defector seeks to prevent the assassination of the Pope.

 *''Dead or Alive'' (2010) - Continues the story of The Teeth of the Tiger, while featuring return appearances from many regulars, including Jack Ryan Sr, and John Clark. Continues to show the inefficiencies of a liberal run America to conduct foreign policy properly and shows the deleterious effects of [[liberalism]] paralyzing military forces from taking peremptory action against terrorists.
 *''Against All Enemies'' (2011) - Ex-SEAL and CIA operative Maxwell Moore is on the hunt for terrorists from Afghanistan, and discovers, after joining a special task force, that they're being aided by a powerful Mexican drug lord.
-*''Locked On'' (2011) - While Jack Ryan Sr leads the hunt for Islamic terrorists, his father runs a campaign for re-election, while John Clark finds himself on the run when accused of murder. Features many corrupt liberals as enemies who collude with terrorists and other rogue elements to prevent Jack Ryan from reconstituting a conservative government in America.
