Ed Rasimus

4.9/5 (22028 ratings)

Description:When Ed Rasimus returned from his first adrenaline-fueled tour of Vietnam, he found himself teaching young fighter pilots basic maneuvers in San Antonio. After becoming bored with the bureaucracy and frustrated with the dull routine, he volunteered for another tour of duty in Vietnam. This time, however, he undertakes bombing runs for more personal and professional reasons than his first time around Phantom Flights, Bangkok Nights picks up where Rasimus' critically acclaimed When Thunder Rolled left off. For this tour, he and the other second-tour pilots are just in it for the action, to advance their careers, and to have a few kicks in Bangkok on the weekends. At this point in the war a belief in victory was almost impossible for the pilots and troops; they just wanted to survive the ordeal. And Rasimus has no illusions that he or his country is doing the right thing especially once his unit bombs Cambodia and Laos. Cynicism became a medal as those on the front lines became the military's harshest and most vocal critics, and Rasimus realizes that it was reasonable--maybe even more respectable--to resist the war.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
