Where does the title Red Storm Rising come from?
Short answerThe account presents it as the name of a Soviet and Warsaw Pact war plan that Tom Clancy adapted into the title of his novel. The scenario here follows its own constraints rather than the novel's plot.
NotesThe phrase came from a theoretical Soviet and Warsaw Pact plan from the Cold War. Tom Clancy turned it into a memorable novel title with a little alliteration. The scenario developed here follows its own constraints rather than reproducing the novel's campaign. The familiar phrase also compresses a much longer audience question into a workable title.
