Reviews
"Scott Gration has flown the skies of war, worked the halls of power, negotiated with kings and generals, and survived terrorist bombings and diplomatic back-stabbing. What a remarkable life of service, resilience, courage, and faith." John Abizaid, General, USA (Ret), Commander, US Central Command (2003-2007) ________________________________________ "A great friend of Kenya and Africa, Scott Gration is much sought after and listened to in Africa. This book is professionally candid, highly entertaining, and offers interesting insights into complex US diplomatic relationships around the world." Dr. Amina Mohamed, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Government of Kenya ________________________________________ "Run to pick up a copy of Flight Path. Reading it made me feel inspired, encouraged and better equipped to live life well. Very highly recommended!" Michael Stallard, President, E Pluribus Partners, Author of Connection Culture and Fired Up or Burned Out ________________________________________ "Scott's humble patriotism and empathy are well-demonstrated in this unusual journey through wars, international relations, and many personal give-backs. His memoir portrays one of America's finest servant-leaders." Josh Weston, Honorary Chairman, Automatic Data Processing Inc. ________________________________________ "Scott's first-person rendition of the Khobar Towers attack and the sleepless days that followed is riveting. You will feel the pain and anger we all felt with the cowardly attack-and the determination we all felt in getting on with America's mission. You'll also get a good sense of the integral part Scott played in the response." Terry Schwalier, Brig Gen, USAF (Ret), Commander, 4404th Composite Wing (Provisional), 1995 96 ________________________________________ "Flight Path tells the story of how General Scott Gration-honest, diplomatic, resilient, and focused on his plan-won the trust of the Sudanese and fulfilled his mission as the US Special Envoy to Sudan." Dr. Ghazi Salahuddin Atabani, Former minister and presidential adviser, and chief interlocutor with the US Envoy, Republic of the Sudan ________________________________________ "I grew up with Scott in the Belgian Congo. Scott's memoir is a fascinating and compelling glimpse into the intersection of the deeply personal and broader socio-political dimensions of history through the eyes of one who helped to shape significant global events. Margaret Mead observed that the course of history is influenced and changed primarily through the actions of thoughtful, committed, and passionate individuals. Scott Gration is one of those persons." Dr. Paul W. Robinson, Professor Emeritus, Wheaton College (IL) and Senior Advisor, Congo Initiative USA ________________________________________ "Scott Gration captures his careers as a fighter pilot, special envoy, and ambassador to Kenya with exquisite detail, tracing their beginnings to those formative years of his African childhood. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone interested in Africa, military aviation, or American politics." Shel Arensen, Editor, Old Africa magazine ________________________________________ Spending his childhood in a culture outside that of his parents, Scott developed an expanded worldview, a multicultural perspective, interpersonal sensitivity, cross-cultural competence, and cultural intelligence. As you read this insightful memoir, you will gain a fascinating glimpse into both the challenges and benefits of being reared as a third-culture kid. I highly recommend it! Ruth E. Van Reken, co-author, Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, co-founder, Families in Global Transition"

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
