Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Based on the title of this book you probably know what you are going to get, exciting stories of American military special operations over the past 30 years. The book delivers just that. We get basically a rundown of the major American military operations over the past 30 years with a view of how the helicopter forces have been used. The authors focus on the missions and detail out what took place, the good and the bad. The real interesting parts for me were the explanations of the Panama, Grenada and Kosovo missions, as I did not have a good understanding of the efforts that took place there.
The authors also throw in a good amount of technical information about the helicopters, the way the missions are planned and the upcoming helicopter technology. The only two issues I had with the book were I felt the authors could have given me more details - beef the book up a bit. Secondly you can really tell the difference in skill between the professional author and the military man. Overall it was a good book that was easy to read. It would be a good primer to any of the conflicts detailed in the book.
