The world of Tom Clancy

"That world also lives in Clancy’s books. It’s a place where American soldiers are always noble, where high-tech weapons always work (at least if they’re made in the U.S.A.), where longterm addicts can be cured almost instantaneously, where a man can stalk and kill 19 human beings and not make a beast of himself, where war and justice and life are so very simple."
