    Glad to see renewed interest in the book. I read it over 30 yrs ago. Wish I could have read it before I went in the Army in '84. His leadership insights would've helped my personal development for military service and my personal life. I hope maybe there's a young 'Hack ' out there leading soldiers.

      Amen! I hope the same! It should be required reading in a military education, and probably good for any organizational leadership. Thank you for your feedback on the book John!

    My best feedback on this book- and where is Julie's name on this book? Rolling Thunder March 196...bombing the American embassy. A proud American.

    Hi, loved your detailed review bout this book, can you please suggest me some books which are non-fiction about the Fighter aircrafts wars or something thrilling related to airforce

      Thanks Jack! Glad you enjoyed it!
      Full disclosure: I have not read many books on fighter pilots and their experiences, but have listened to quite a few podcasts.
      There are a lot of crazy sagas to read about with combat aircraft. I think the most dangerous job in world war 2 was anything to do with bombers, as the 8th Air Force alone lost more men than all of the Marines and Navy corpsman did in the Pacific!
      So there should be some interesting non-fiction and memoirs from that time and place.
