I enjoyed reading Red Phoenix though I think I want to read it again since I read it years before serving in South Korea's military. One mistake I remember from Red Phoenix is that it has RoK Air Force A-10s when the RoK Air Forces doesn't have any (though I think it's toyed with the idea of buying some).
I'm not sure when it's supposed to be set but if it's set in the 90's then having the Coup d'Etat as in the story would actually be quite ridiculous.
Other than those I think it was pretty decent.
Cauldron is good except the ending.
Clancy actually predicted that the attack helicopters would have a lower survivability than advertised and that the most effective ground attack would come from A-10s. This has proven to be true.
