Captain Scott O'Grady's account of being shot down by a Serbian SAM missile was a page-turner in the classic style. The book covers his whole life leading up to his unplanned parachute entry into the former Yugoslavia, his five days of eluding his potential captors and rescue by the United States Marines. The book was quick and easy to read and captures his pride, fear, resolve and spiritual redemption and awakening. I would recommend this book to young readers and true patriots alike. Well done Scott O'Grady!
This story is a thrilling book that details the struggles and perils of the downed pilot SScott O'Grady. Each chapter ends in a great cliff hanger that makes you never want to put down the book. The pictures included in the middle of the book add a nice touch and gives the reader an insight to his past. I would recomend this book to anyone who loves stories about heroes. I will be writiing about this book as part of my summer reading as a senior in high school.
This has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I got this one to give to a friend.
