La Somme de toutes les peurs

The technical details add authenticity, but I wonder if that slowed down the story at times. Was that a deliberate choice to enhance realism?

The book's portrayal of international relations seems eerily timely. How do others interpret the themes of diplomacy and conflict here?

Their backstory added depth to the story, but I’m curious whether Clancy drew from real-world figures or events when crafting this character.
