Stanek offers unique insight into the process of writing to meet the commitments of life, business, and college. Although this is far from a "definitive" writer's guideline, this book shines in giving a unique perspective on the processes of writing, tapping into creativity, improving ideas, and completing assignments that involve writing from simple essays, reports, presentations to more complicated writing like a thesis or a novel, the book covers it all.
As a college sophmore, I am grateful for a brief glimpse into the world of a professional writer as well as the many many insights Stanek shares are taken from his own many years experience as a professional writer. He shares the proven techniques he's used to get writing done to the beat of deadlines from bosses, professors, and others. I gained confidence and am working to change many bad habits. I am still in awe at what he has accomplished in his professional writing career.

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.

A Former Soldier's Opinion
Revisado: 08-16-06
Stanek's memoir "Stormjammers" is a first-hand account of training and engagements in Iraq. It is refreshingly clean of anti-war or pro-war bias. I found the entire volume well-written and fast reading. Stanek leaves the larger debates about the war to others, and concentrates on depicting the confusion, frustration, readiness, service and heroism. Such descriptions have been missing in the mass media coverage of the war.
Every person in war sees it differently. But there is a core of truth that is common to all war fighters, but not necessarily seen by all who fight. I learned it in Vietnam. My grandfather told me of it in World War II, my father told me of it in Korea, and this book tells it for the Iraq war. His story of the challenges that a military flyer faces in the midst of the chaos of combat and the ties that bind the crew together are fascinating. This is a great book and should be read by those who want to understand what our armed forces are up against in today's world. This will also resonate with those who have served or had similar experiences of war.
