Review
Military Writers Society of America
Very interesting. I especially liked PROFANE about the overuse of profanity and uncivilized people. I also enjoyed GROUNDED about a pilot who was grounded and his wife secretly took lessons to surprise [him]. I would recommend this book if you just want something different to read and get your mind wondering!
We identify with the characters even when they're doing something most of us have never done, like flying an airplane. -- Andrew Grgurich, Marquette (MI) Mining Journal, February 12, 2006
