TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you buy this book, you better take a trip to the mountains, find a quiet den or just hunker down in the back yard because once you start, there is no putting this book down. The author captures every feeling, every smell, all of it. Even someone like me who was never in a war, finds himself wrapped up in it's outcome. The book had all of it. The ending is superb and makes the reader understand how cruel we were to our soldiers of this war who gave all in a cause that they were sworn to protect. God bless the Dustoff Medics, they really were the grandfathers of todays "Life Flight Helicopter"crews, many of these same pilots have given their lives after the war flying medical missions.One of them, Dennis Palcic, went down in bad weather with his entire crew, on "Air Heart One, while attempting to save the life of a critically ill patient right here in Walton County, Florida.

H.D. Guthre, a former Dustoff medic, writes a heartfelt and soul wrenching memoir of a Dustoff Medic's experiences in this captivating book. Written much like a novel, the flow of the dialog and his action helps to visually implant the scenes in the consciousness of the reader. His words make the story vivid and alive, because the author uses a unique writing technique and style that uses the third person to tell his personal story. He even changes his own character's name in the book to help him cope emotionally and spiritually with the rememberances and having to deal with the past. It works well. It is only at the end of the book when you read what happens to each person in his book , that one actually puts it altogether and realizes that the author is SSG David Scanlon, from the story. He does not try to hide it as he goes on to write about the author where you see that what happened to scanlon, is what happened to Guthre. Not many professional writers could have pulled this one off, but Guthre's use of this writing method only makes for a much better telling of the story. Guthre is more able to expose and express his emotions and relate to the events as an observer. This affords the reader a closer and uncensored emotional look at what happened in "The Disneyland of Death" as he calls it.
