Set during the [[World War III]] scenario outlined in [[John Hackett (British Army officer)|Sir John Hackett]]'s novel ''[[The Third World War: The Untold Story]]'', the novel follows the titular [[United States Army]] [[Armoured warfare|armored]] [[Company (military unit)|company]]-sized team in combat against the [[Soviet Union]] after the [[Warsaw Pact]] invades [[Western Europe]]. While Hackett's book emphasizes strategy and world politics, Coyle's features the experiences of the tank crews and infantrymen fighting on the front lines.

''Team Yankee'' was Coyle's first novel, and its success made Coyle a prominent writer in the field of [[military fiction]].{{citation needed|date=August 2020}} The novel achieved best-selling status and inspired a series of [[comic book]]s, an [[Origins Award]]-winning [[board game|board]] [[wargame]], and a [[video game]].
