It's interesting that the book and movie have different villains. In the book, in the 7 day war, an Israeli bomber had a malfunction that caused a tactical nuke it was carrying to fall off the rail. The fall buried it in the ground and some shepard found it current day. Islamic terrorists got it and harvested the plutonium. They made a bomb and blew up the SB in Denver, not B'more.
Why the change in plot? Clancy didn't want to piss off Muslims? PC? I'm curious 🤔
The answer is in the movie Sum of All Fears
“Hitler was not evil; he was stupid.
You don’t fight America and Russia; you make them fight each other.”
