â€œAÂ greatÂ read by an exceptional combat aviator, leader,Â andÂ writer!Â Jimmy Blackmon captures brilliantly the enthralling story of the air cavalry unit that was the eyes and ears of the 101stÂ Airborne Division (Air Assault) during the fight to Baghdad and throughout the first year in Iraqâ€”when I was privileged to command the division.Â He captures vividly, as well, the courage, skill, and feel for the battlefield of the gifted pilot and commander of the squadron, Lieutenant Colonel Steve Schiller, to whom we turned repeatedly when the missions were the toughest.â€â€”General David Petraeus (U.S. Army, Ret.); Commanded the 101stÂ Airborne Division (Air Assault), Multinational Force-Iraq, US Central Command, and coalition and U.S. forces in Afghanistan
