Review of 'Chickenhawk: Back in the World Again' on 'Goodreads'

Written years after the fact this is not a history, but an excellent memoir .

We get a brilliant descriptions of how helicopters are flown in general and in the Jungles of Vietnam in particular.

I learned more about helicopters that I've ever known before.

There is a good balance between military professionalism, anti-war sentiment and the horrors of war. Neither aspect dominates the book to a degree where you feel like there's an agenda behind the it.
