His descriptions of flying air assault, med-evac and ammo-resupply missions make exhilarating reading.an important addition to our growing Vietnam War literature. "How extraordinarily touching it is that these men who have suffered so much still want to make us better.If I sound just a little overwrought, I defy you to read this straightforward, in many ways underwrought, narrative and feel any differently.filled with the grim humor of men under pressure, filled with details." Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times ".Violent, deafening, treetop world of 1000 Viet Nam helicopter s vertical plunge into the thickets of madness, will stun readers as well."
