"The Jack Ryan Agenda places each of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels (from his bestselling debut with The Hunt for Red October to his latest, The Teeth of the Tiger) within the historical context of the U.S./international situation at the time each book was published." "The Clinton years are examined as well; during this time, Clancy occasionally embraced a "by any means necessary" modus operandi that included Special Forces assassins taking on rogue environmentalists." "Turning to film, The Jack Ryan Agenda explores how the movie versions differ from the Clancy canon - and notes the author's displeasure with the way Hollywood liberals took liberties with his story lines."--Jacket.
