It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of , NY 10010. 2001. 215 pp. Ill $24.95. This book is written on a welcome subject, but it could have been better--starting with the title, whose explanation is buried nearly halfway through the book. The narrative does shed light on several seldom-described actions, including Grenada, Vietnam and the Balkans. The photo folios are good, although there's no chronological order to their presentation. Chapters dealing with three rescues (and one unsuccessful effort) of allied flight crews over Bosnia are worth the price, because these efforts set the tone for future search-and-rescue missions and have received little press. Like most modern books on military subjects, the lack of a style-and-writing editor is obvious. Poor sentence construction and terminology and the lack of basic punctuation punctuation [Lat.,=point], the use of special signs in writing to clarify how words are used; the term also refers to the signs themselves. In every language, besides the sounds of the words that are strung together there are other features, such as tone, accent, and and grammar impede the reader's progress. The authors seem to believe that neither the Navy or Marine Corps can do anything right, which I guess is expected since the major is a serving Air Force officer with the aircraft and squadrons whose experiences he describes. I cautiously recommend this book. I am surprised that a large publisher such as St. Martin's allowed a product to go to press without a closer look at the writing. Nevertheless, the uniqueness of the subject, missions and the brevity Brevity Adonis’ garden of short life. [Br. Lit.: I Henry IV] bubbles symbolic of transitoriness of life.
