What is War For the Hell of It: A Fighter Pilot's View of Vietnam about?

War-from 25,000 feet up.<br> <br> During the Vietnam War, Ed Cobleigh served two tours of duty, logging 375 combat sorties and over 1,000 hours of combat time in the F-4D Phantom II fighter/bomber. Unlike so many others, he made it back in one piece. And he returned with an experience-and a perspective-that those of us on the ground could not begin to understand. <br> <br> In <i>War for the Hell of It</i>, Cobleigh shares that perspective in an intimate account of his life in a war filled with moral ambiguity and military contradictions. This is an unprecedented look into the state of mind of a pilot as he experiences everything from the carnage of a crash to the joy of flying through a star-studded night sky, from illogical political agendas to his own dangerous addiction to risk. <br> <br> With the aviation thrills of Flight of the Intruder and the military pathos of M*A*S*H, Cobleigh gives a stirring and emotional description of one man's journey into airborne hell and back. <p>Author Biography: Ed Cobleigh earned his pilot's wings with the U.S. Air Force and eventually achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses and the Air Medal
