"...a fabulous read, filled with heroism, history nd
hi-jinks....Reading this book will give you a history of an elite
group of servicemen that few have ever heard of...writing style is
fluent and dynamic..."-- "Readers' Favorite"
"Rather than being a history of the Pararescuemen, Bill Sine has
written a book which is a collection of extended vignettes about
his career in the PJs. Some are very funny and some are (given the
nature of their work) sad; all demonstrate that combination of
professionalism and calculated risk-taking that seems to be
inherent in this trade. Some of the history is given as part of the
stories but the focus is the men and the tale....brings his subject
to life and most definitely explains why Pararescuemen can be
regarded as a highly-specialised, highly-capable force. I recommend
this book to anyone who might even be vaguely interested in the
subject or who just enjoys stories from lesser-known parts of the
military."-- "Army Rumour Service"
