Reviews"The contemporary writer most admired and envied by other writers. . . . He can . . . break your heart with a sentence." --Washington Post Book World "Anyone under forty may not appreciate how profoundly Salter influenced my generation. [He] created the finest work ever to appear in print--ever--about men who fly and fight." --Robert F. Dorr, author of F-86 Sabre Darkly romantic. . .beautifully composed. . .a brilliant war novel." --Chicago Tribune
Dewey Decimal813/.54
SynopsisWith his stirring, rapturous first novel--originally published in 1956 --James Salter established himself as the most electrifying prose stylist since Hemingway. Four decades later, it is clear that he also fashioned the most enduring fiction ever about aerial warfare. Captain Cleve Connell arrives in Korea with a single goal: to become an ace, one of that elite fraternity of jet pilots who have downed five MIGs. But as his fellow airmen rack up kill after kill--sometimes under dubious circumstances--Cleve's luck runs bad. Other pilots question his guts. Cleve comes to question himself. And then in one icy instant 40,000 feet above the Yalu River, his luck changes forever. Filled with courage and despair, eerie beauty and corrosive rivalry, The Hunters is a landmark in the literature of war.

Great, authentic read.
Only an actual veteran F-86 pilot could have written this book. Thankfully one veteran pilot, James Salter, was also a gifted writer. If you want a vivid look into an old school fighter squadron in the Korean war, this book takes you there. As a retired fighter pilot, it's rare to read something on the topic of fighter squadrons that rings as authentic as this book. Highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Taut and suspenseful
James Salter flew 100 missions in Korea and is credited with a MiG-15 shootdown. Compelling narrative of the stresses and strain combat pilots face, both on the ground and in the air.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
