About this ebook
From award-winning journalist and combat veteran Michael Hirsh comes the thrilling inside story of the Air Force’s pararescue operations in Afghanistan.
The first journalist to be embedded with an Air Force combat unit in the War on Terrorism, Hirsh flew from Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, with the 71st Rescue Squadron to their expeditionary headquarters at a secret location in Central Asia. Unparalleled access to the PJs, as well as to the courageous men and women who fly them where they have to go, often under enemy fire, allowed Hirsh to uncover incredible stories of courage.

I've always wanted to be a PJ, and I'm currently in the Air Force DEP, and I'm taking the pre-test to qualify for PJ. And this test really puts a physical and mental strain on your body. You need to be the best of the best to pass this test.

This is a great book. Depicts the life of PJs and really helped me make my mind to be one. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the military.
