reviewed on + 27 more book reviews


From inside cover: "They've given a lot to Lance Sijan. They gave him the most cherished medal that the United States can give a fighting man, the Medal of Honor. They named a monumental building in the Air Force Academy after him. They recorded his exploits for every officer candidate in the Academy to read and learn. But that was nothing compared to what Lance Sijan has given to the Air Force, to America, to us all: The clearest example we can ever have of what it is and means to be a hero."
