The Bear And The Dragon Pdf Download
When all is said and done, at the end of the day, when the dog has
been let out and the kids have been put to bed and the cats have
been force-fed their fur balls back at 'em, I get just a bit tired
of the mental midgets who knock Tom Clancy. Yes, his books are
long. There is a reason for this. He uses a pinpoint brush on a
broad, expansive canvas. It's all in the details. That takes words,
words take pages. And the author needs talent to keep readers
interested through (in the case of THE BEAR AND THE DRAGON)
1100-plus pages.

Clancy has tons of details, as many pages as he wants, talent out
the kazoo, and interested readers by the country load. And it's the
readers, as Clancy recently informed a rudely stupid pundit on
nationwide television a couple of weeks ago (hint: the talking
head's name sounds like 'Brat Liar'), that Clancy cares
about.
Clancy's novels succeed on several levels. Jack Ryan --- that's
President Jack Ryan --- is worthy of his title. Here is a guy who
doesn't wonder what the definition of 'is' is, knows how to handle
reporters, and has enough sense of who he is and what his
priorities should be and what his responsibilities are that he
wouldn't, say, keep a head of state waiting while he was satisfying
his curiosity about whether the carpet matched the curtains with a
fetching intern. He's a real President. And a real hero. What a
concept.
Then there is Clancy's penchant for details. I know, I know, I
unfortunately have reached the stage in my life where if there are
more than a half-dozen principals in a novel I am flipping back and
forth to figure out who is what. But you can't write a book that
spans three continents and umpteen different levels of government
in each one and have three characters controlling the action. And
where you have people, you have things happening, and you have
details.
Clancy forgets nothing and accounts for everything. And when you
leave one of his books, you feel like you know the characters
you've just met. You also feel as if you have read an account of
actual events, rather than a work of fiction. Then there's the
action. There is drama and nobility and pathos and suspense and
everything that you would want in an action/adventure novel, and in
a Tom Clancy novel.
- Aug 21, 2000 Time and again, Tom Clancy's novels have been praised not only for their big-scale drama and propulsive narrative drive but for their cutting-edge prescience in predicting future events. In The Bear and the Dragon, the future is very near at hand indeed. Newly elected in.

THE BEAR AND THE DRAGON demonstrates the true, unplumbed depth of
Clancy's talent. It never lags and never disappoints. Things start
out with a bang when persons unknown try to take out the head of
the former KGB, now SVR, with a rocket-propelled grenade. And there
is no lack of suspects for the deed. Jack Ryan, settling in
somewhat uneasily after an American electorate throws off the yoke
of complacency and elects him President (this is, after all, a work
of fiction), lends FBI support to the Russians for their
investigation. Surprise: the Red Chinese are behind it.
The Chinese, the 'Dragon' to the Russian 'Bear' in THE BEAR AND THE
DRAGON, have their chestnuts in the fire. Their economy is a
shambles and dissent rears its head from within. Worst of all, the
Red Chinese have to deal with a U. S. President who won't
unilaterally give away the farm (again, this is a work of fiction).
Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Red Chinese
accordingly launch a two-pronged plan: destabilize the Russian
government and prepare to invade Siberia --- where gold, of both
the solid yellow type and the black viscous stuff known as oil,
have recently been discovered.
Nothing goes as planned, however. A Chinese woman, seeking to avoid
the government-sanctioned murder of her unborn child, appeals to a
missionary for assistance. As it happens, the missionary is
accompanied by the Papal Nuncio at the time. When the religious
leaders are accidentally shot while trying to protect the child,
chaos erupts. President Ryan acts of principle, calls off the trade
talks, and announces financial embargoes in the face of
saber-rattling from Red China and criticism from the American
press. Ryan, showing a level of testosterone undreamed of in a US
leader since the 1980s, refuses to back down. At the same time, he
begins receiving intelligence information about China's move
against Russia. Ryan confers with his counterpart in Russia, and
then the fun really begins!
THE BEAR AND THE DRAGON is 100 per cent pure Clancy. It has
everything, including the kitchen sink and all of the utensils. And
it will last you until the next Clancy novel. It is a gem of a book
from an author who has become one of our national treasures. Very
highly recommended.

Publisher Description
President Jack Ryan faces a world crisis unlike any he has ever known in Tom Clancy's extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller.
A high-level assassination attempt in Russia has the newly elected Ryan sending his most trusted eyes and ears—including antiterrorism specialist John Clark—to Moscow, for he fears the worst is yet to come. And he’s right. The attempt has left the already unstable Russia vulnerable to ambitious forces in China eager to fulfill their destiny—and change the face of the world as we know it..
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'Klingons' is how hero Jack Ryan describes the villainsDthe Communist Chinese PolitburoDof Clancy's mammoth new novel; other Yanks refer to Chinese soldiers as 'Joe Chinaman.' It's not for subtlety of characterization, then, that this behemoth proves so relentlessly engrossing. Nor is it for any modulation in the arc of its action, which moves insistently from standstill to hurtle. Nor is it for the author's (expressed) understanding of life's viscissitudes; in this Clancyverse, no white hat with a name dies, but every black hat gets whupped bad. Partly it's for the sheer bulkDif ever a book should come equipped with wheels, it's this oneDwhich plunges readers into a sea of words so vast that, after hours of paddling happily through brisk prose, the horizon remains hidden from sight. Mostly, though, it's because that sea glitters with undeniable authority. Clancy has demonstrated in earlier books (Rainbow Six, etc.) that he towers above other novelists in his ability to deliver geo-political, techo-military goods on a global scaleDand here he's at the top of that war-gaming. With aplomb, he spins numerous plot strandsDamong them: a Sino-American spy seduces his way into Politburo secrets; enormous oil and gold reserves are discovered in Siberia; the new Papal Nuncio to Beijing is murdered; the Politburo orders a hit on a top Russian officialDthat lead to a Chinese invasion of Russia and a credible war scenario that occupies the novel's last quarter and that culiminates in a nuclear crescendo. Each thread carries a handbook's worth of intoxicating, expertly researchedDseemingly insideDinformation, about advanced weapons of war and espionage, about how various governments work, complemented always with ponderings about the tensions between individual honor and the demands of state. Add to that the excitement for Clancy fans of this being the first novel to feature not just Jack Ryan but also, in significant subordinate roles, Jack Clark and Ding Chavez of Rainbow Six and other tales, and you've got a juggernaut that's going to hit #1 its first week out and stay there for a good while. 2 million first printing; BOMC main selection; author tour.
A Great Read
Loved it!
Lengthy, but.
Tom Clancy at his best.
Masterful
Tom Clancy is well known for his insightful abilities to look into the face of American government and CIA politics, but this book shows a master at work! I feel like I know jack Ryan on a personal level, and that's due to the author. Good job, Tom. Can. Write one more Jack Ryan masterpiece? I'm hopeful!
