Chickenhawk van Robert Mason. 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 1,0000 assault missions.
In Chickenhawk, Robert Mason himself gives us a devastating bird's eye-view of that war in all it's horror, as he experiences the accelerating terror, the increasingly desperate courage of a man ' acting out the role of hero long after he realizes that the conduct of war is insane.
And we can't stop ourselves from identifying with it.
Excellent Excellent book.
