Erin C. (brandinsp) reviewed on 8/18/2006 + 113 more book reviews

Overview: While flying his F-16 on a mission to keep the peace in Bosnia, U.S. Air Force pilot Scott O'Grady was shot down. The plane exploded, and Captain O'Grady parachuted five miles to the ground. In exciting detail, Captain O'Grady tells how he evaded capture and how, with little water and no food, he survived on his own in enemy territory. This is a thrilling look at an American hero - a hero not because he lived to tell the tale, but because of the skill, faith, and courage he displayed while fulfilling his duty as a member of the armed forces.

Review: I saw the movie, "Behind Enemy Lines", about this same episode and wanted to know the real story. My 12 year-old son and I both enjoyed the book. Well told and riveting.
