"Eloquent... An uplifting, heart-rending, and terrifyingly real account of frontline air combat. A first-rate military memoir." - David Eastman, US Army retired and author. ¿"Gritty, groundbreaking combat memoir from a former linguist and military intelligence analyst who worked with the NSA and CIA at the 'tunnel' for six years," Tom Gardner, author. 20th Anniversary edition of the original release, a firsthand account from the author's daily journal. 32 combat missions, 2 deployments, 1 war. New additions by the author include a new foreword and afterword, additional notes and wire news dispatches from the war. In this true story, William Robert Stanek delivers a raw and unforgettable narrative, revealing what it's like to be in war waged from the skies above. Day by day, step by step, he brings readers into the secretive world of combat fliers, and tells the story of the men and women who flew dangerous combat missions during the largest air war of the 20th century. Experience the extraordinary events through the author's firsthand account of his 32 combat missions. This astonishingly detailed chronicle of remarkable lives living through extraordinary times is a testament to the triumphant power of the human spirit over adversity. "Quickly becomes hard to put down... gives over to an adrenalin rush of anticipation... impossible not to share the relief and pride of the individual crew members..." - The Journal of Electronic Defense "Candid and fast-paced like the best combat memoirs, Stanek focuses on the men and women he flew with, telling their stories as well as his own and creating what is ultimately an inspiring and uplifting story of the human spirit challenged by the agony and terror of war." Extraordinary in its scope, beautifully written. A riveting first-person account of the first Persian Gulf War and the secretive world of Electronic Warfare with the sensitivity and insights of an acclaimed writer steeped in history, tragedy, and inspiration.
