Good read and account for the most part

Revisado: 12-06-24

Wish the "Eisenhower" and "Supreme Commander" were not switch back and forth do much, often from sentence to sentence. Decide what you are going to call him and stick to it unless a point needs to be made.
Also, please hesitate a bit when switch subjects, so one who is often driving, does't wonder when we changed locations and must back to find it.

Too many mistakes, made up stuff, attitude

Revisado: 06-14-24

Author shows little understanding of the pilots and “operant conditioning”. IE: he should have read the book “Yeager” to see what it took for them to break the sound barrier. I doubt President Kennedy was in awe when meeting guys with the right stuff, as he was a combat veteran that served with distinction. I would consider that he would have considered them peers in that aspect. Author sounds like a drunk telling a story at a bar (repeating himself over and over again, louder and louder) It reminds me of one of those awful “unauthorized biographies” with the simplistic explanations and plain fiction at times.
I reviewed book after 8 hours, hund on till the end to see if it got better. Nope it did not get better.
I will avoid this author in the future.

Better than I expected!

Revisado: 06-08-23

I’m not sure why this book caught my eye, most likely good reviews and a true story.
But, I’m glad it did. My kind of guy and he kept his head and made it happen by learning, listening, and persevering.

A Good Book

Revisado: 06-18-22

I would have liked a bit more detail of the actual battle.
Interesting how both sides had to contend with the Admirals in their home countries, thinking they knew better than those in the field.
Also good to see what a good commander Nimitz was, as opposed to idiots like MacArthur, who finally was relieved of command.

True Story that is better than fiction.

Revisado: 05-18-22

The true story of people that pull together to be a truly inspiring team. They worked through adversity with determination, as well as the soul searching to find what it takes to take talent and turn it into something very special!

Little hard to keep track of multiple events

Revisado: 01-12-21

There are events going on in different locations and at different times. It can be hard to determine where they fit in the timeline. Also, because the names are not common to the USA, they can also make it a be a bit harder to follow, as one learns the enunciations.
A good story and I liked it.

It shows the true good in man and dog

Revisado: 03-11-18

Having worked in the field with dogs for over 20 years. Deployed to Ground Zero, Hurricanes Katrina and Ike, and countless smaller missions by FEMA as a K9 Search Specialist. I have not come across a better book that touches on the great work that can be done when a working dog and handler develop a partnership. It also reminds us of how humble truly good people are and how they and their dogs are willing to risk their lives to help others, just because they want to help.
