Clash of Steel — L.H. Burruss

Clash of Steel is a fast paced, high-tech thriller, packed with air and ground combat in the Persian Gulf region in the waning weeks of the Soviet Union. As Russian armor invades Iran to gain a seaport on the Gulf, American special operations troops and helicopters are quickly deployed to blunt the Soviet thrust. With courage, selflessness, stealth and imagination the Americans' vastly outnumbered forces tackle the almost impossible mission of stopping the enemy in the mountains and deserts of South Asia. A female soldier thrust by mistake into the battle joins the men in the non-stop action.
