Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book won't teach you everything you need to know to be a good pilot, but that's not it's intent. It will teach you everything you need to know to pass the flight exam! If you struggle with written, multiple choice, and fairly pointless exams, then this book is for you!Click Here to see more reviews...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is well-written and an easy read, as compared to most military history which is, often, difficult, if not impossible to follow. I give it one strike technical/historical matters. First, for having been written after Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, it and fails to take that work into account....

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The background for this well written book comes of course from The Korean War, a 'police action' never declared a war by Congress but most people refer to it as a 'war' all the same. Built into this background is the work that James A. Michener did while spending time aboard both aircraft carriers and...

The concept of Good vs. Evil is there and even Heaven vs. Hell, but the story is about a group of former Green Berets troubled by their past in Vietnam...
