Apollo's Warriors: US Air Force Special Operations During the Cold War: Michael E. Haas

Summary: GOD-LIKE ACCOMPLISHMENTS - TRIBUTE TO AIR FORCE SPEC OPS

Rating: 4

Haas has an unbeatable book on Air Force Special Operations. This book covers the periods from WWII with high lights about the OSS (Office of Strategic Services, forerunner to the CIA and Green Berets) onto Korea covering air missions on psychological operations and support efforts, rolling into the late 50s early 60s coving various clandestine and covert operations, like the "Bay of Pigs". Haas then picks up with the 2nd Indochina war starting in the early 60s with Laos wrapping it up the Vietnam section with the Son Tay Raid. This book also covers Medal of Honor winners and other heroes and personalities of Air Force special operations. The book has an index and bibliography.

I rated this book 4 instead 5 stars for one reason. There are to versions of this book both soft cover, but the problem lays in that one version is printed in full color on high quality glossy pages and the other completely in black & white on low end paper, both soft covers are the same quality. This book being primarily and illustrated history with pictures, illustrations, charts and diagrams on practically every page it looses a lot of its luster in B&W. I guess if you never seen the color version it would not matter but I own both, because I borrowed a copy (color version) from a friend and liked it enough to add it to my library, I ordered the book on line an got the B&W version, so I went on the hunt and found another copy in color (FYI: Air University Press, Alabama, 1997 printed the color edition), big pain in the but and costly! Over all I highly recommend this book in ANY version it is truly a landmark edition to US Air Force Special Operation and American Spec Ops in general. Great Job Haas!
