Summary

Harry's War is a well-written, insightful description of how our fighter pilot warriors think, and the challenges they face when they come back down to earth.

Harry's War fully brings to life war in both its literal and metaphorical sense. It explores an air battle that takes place over Iraq along the Iraq-Iranian border.

It doesn't take long before this story has Harry in the middle of a crazy dogfight with four Su-27 Flanker fighter planes in the Iraqi skies. Harry is flying an F-15, which is the inferior craft of the two, but he is the superior pilot, and his skills are pushed to the limit in this life or death battle. The dogfight scene will entertain you better than any other Air Force driven novel you have ever read. You will not be able to stop listening to this book.

But then things change. As the story morphs seamlessly into a new scene, a second war unfolds, which is equally as hard as the one Harry fought in the skies. Heartfelt emotion is now on the table in these closing chapters, as Harry has to deal with demons from his past and fight for his survival in a new and very different future.

"Being a fighter pilot is not just about flying planes!" - Brigadier General James "Bulldog" Rippenger.

This book is not a Top Gun BS story. This is the real deal. And if you're looking for real entertainment from a flyboy's perspective, then Harry's War is a must.
