Red Storm Rising ist ein Kriegsroman von Tom Clancy und Larry Bond, der am 7. August 1986 erschien.
Angesiedelt Mitte der 1980er-Jahre, schildert er einen Dritten Weltkrieg zwischen den NATO- und Warschauer-
Pakt-Truppen. Bemerkenswert ist, dass der Konflikt ausschließlich mit konventionellen Waffen geführt wird und
nicht in den Einsatz von Massenvernichtungswaffen oder Atomwaffen eskaliert. Das Buch stieg auf Platz eins
der New-York-Times-Bestsellerliste ein. 1989 veröffentlichte zudem TSR, Inc. das von Douglas Niles entworfene
Brettspiel Red Storm Rising, basierend auf dem gleichnamigen Buch. Das Spiel gewann 1989 den Origins
Award für das beste moderne Brettspiel und die beste grafische Präsentation eines Brettspiels.
