Chickenhawk

Note: I wouldn't normally sell a book with loose pages but I'm making an exception here because this is an excellent book worthy of reading.  There are two pages in the very front of the book that have popped out.  The consist of maps and a diagram of helicopter controls.  These two loose pages do not affect the rest of the book which is a little rough around the edges but still mostly good.  I'm putting it in the bargain bin at $2.49 so there you go.

Description:

A stunning book about the right stuff in the wrong war.

As a child, Robert Mason dreamed of levitating. As a young man, he dreamed of flying helicopters - and the U.S. Army gave him his chance. They sent him to Vietnam where, between August 1965 and July 1966, he flew more than 1,000 assault missions. In Chickenhawk, Robert Mason gives us a devastating bird's eye-view of that war in all its horror, as he experiences the accelerating terror, the increasingly desperate courage of a man 'acting out the role of a hero long after he realises that the conduct of the war is insane,' says the New York Times, 'And we can't stop ourselves from identifying with it.'
