Gerald Astor takes you into the cockpit of a P-51 Mustang, the pilot's seat of a B-17 and the cold prison camps of Nazi Germany. I could not put this book down.

Excellent author!             Civil War: Front Line, Book 29 reviews Paul Jenkins, Ramon Bachs, ... Marvel Comics, 2007 Classic Marvel!! Marvel Civil War collection is an instant classic for all ages to enjoy. My suggestion is that if you get Civil War Frontline Vol 2 you should get Vol 1 at the same time because the story is SO good that you will have wished you ordered both if you didn't. While I'm at it, get the whole Marvel Civil War series. It's classic stuff and it's great for all ages.

Berkley Hardcover, 2007 Good book I really liked this book. It was written in a style that made me feel like I was sitting and talking in person to Mr. Guarnere and Mr. Heffron. Their exact words and dialect was printed. It did not read like a book written by some armchair soldier or historian. It reminded me of my talks with my uncle, another WWII veteran.             Gust Front (Posleen War Series #2)61 reviews John Ringo Baen, 2002 Nasty Centaurs Try to Overflow USA's Plains.

Sent on a mission to rescue the SEALS from a snowy 10,000-foot Afghanistan battleground, he lacked basic mission information.

This is the first time that it has been presented in its entirety and the additions only increase the book's value as a window into the world of the combat aviator.

Winchell The University of North Carolina Press, 2008 Throughout World War II, when Saturday nights came around, servicemen and hostesses happily forgot the war for a little while as they danced together in USO clubs, which served as havens of stability in a time of social, moral, and geographic upheaval. Meghan Winchell demonstrates that in addition to boosting soldier morale, the USO acted as an architect of the gender roles and sexual codes that shaped the "greatest generation."
