    Five stars. This book expounds upon virtually every facet of what it's like to be a fighter pilot. It encompasses the thrills of pulling nine g's and going 600 knots, as well as the dread of taking others' lives. Just as important, the Gulf War is expounded upon including the history of the conflict, the execution of the coalition that stopped Hussein, and the aftermath. The war in Iraq, of 1991, as this book highlights, was just. The fighting men and women made such justice possible.
