The book was published by the US Naval Institute Press. I don't know if it was passed up by major publishers. I think it was the only bestseller they ever published
Outstanding. Thanks for calling out Richard Jordan and that great line. He steals every scene he's in. And let's not forget about the sweaty perfection of Skarsgard in pursuit. My son refers to movies like this as "smart men in small rooms talking." I'd put Moneyball and The Big Short in that category. Like October and Apollo 13, just endlessly watchable.

That’s interesting. I remember the book being a big deal.
It was also (IMHO) Clancy's best book. Nothing else he wrote was ever that good.

Both of those are great examples and another fairly recent one I would add is The Martian.
