Non-Fiction as never before

I did have some reservations in mind before I started reading ’Every Man A Tiger’. I hardly read non-fiction because most of the times, it bores me. This book, I believe, is starting to shake my beliefs. The book is, essentially, a biography. Clancy has roped in one of the element commanders from the gulf war to tell his story. In this case, it is Chuck Horner who commanded the air operations during the war. The book details Horner’s achievements after he joined the USAF. The book explicitly details operations carried out by the USAF during the Vietnam and Gulf wars.Truth is stranger than fiction, they say. You can’t call the experiences mentioned in this book strange, but they definitely are more interesting than fiction. The narration is delightfully done by Clancy interspersed with bits and pieces by Horner. A warning, however might be necessary for some. This isn’t a book that can be understood by everyone. Given the fact that both the writers are close to the military, the book is filled with infinitely many terms beyond comprehension of the common man( I even had to use the internet to get the means for a few acronyms and i’m not joking). The book also tends to get slow at times and gets pretty boring when all the administration stuff is described. However, this book is a treat for people working with the airforce. Happy reading
