Review of Red Dawn (1984) by Will P — 13 Jan 2009
Reagan-era paranoia at its best. Soviets, along with massive Nicaraguan and Cuban armies (WTF?) invade the USA in a world where the NATO dissolved and Latin America fell to communist revolutions. A small town in Colorado becomes a key strategic point, and local youngster wage an improbably successful guerrilla war against the invaders.
It makes no sense, but I still get a teenage guilty pleasure seeing untrained high school boys, raised as hunters and outdoorsmen by their earnest parents, wave the flag and ambush whole companies of elite Spetnatz troopers.
