Casemate is pleased to announce the arrival of HW Coyle’s quintessential cold war thriller TEAM YANKEE: A NOVEL OF WORLD WAR III.
Revised and updated, this edition of the classic Cold War novel Team Yankee reminds us once again might have occurred had the United States and its Allies taken on the Russians in Europe, had cooler geopolitical heads not prevailed.
Team Yankee posits a conflict that never happened, but which very well might have, and for which both sides prepared for decades. This former New York Times bestseller by Harold Coyle, now revised and expanded, presents a glimpse of what it would have been like for the Allied soldiers who would have had to meet a relentless onslaught of Soviet and Warsaw Pact divisions.
It takes the view of a US tank commander, who is vastly outnumbered during the initial onslaught, as the Russians pull out all the cards learned in their successful war against Germany. Meantime Western Europe has to speculate behind its thin screen of armor whether the New World can once again assemble its main forces—or willpower—to rescue the bastions of democracy in time.

“A good and compelling picture of how war is at the company level and what is involved in company battle which …is the battle that really matters”
General Sir John Hackett, author of The Third World War and Commanding General NORTAG and British Army of the Rhein
