Interesting memoir providing a look into the life and motivation of a combat fighter pilot.
Good book. It does have a few negative reviews, but don't let that put you off. (I suppose the fighter jock mentality isn't for everyone – fighter pilots really are a breed apart.) Col. Hampton is an extremely accomplished pilot who specialized in very demanding and dangerous missions. He is also an actual hero.
I listened to the audio version and quite enjoyed it. John Pruden's narration is well done.
