  A gripping account of the US Air Force pilots who risked their lives rescuing thousands of downed pilots during covert missions in the Vietnam War.  The colorful characters and daring rescues of downed pilots engaged in the Secret War in North Vietnam and Laos are vividly captured by one who was there, in some of the most exciting stories ever written about aerial combat. Sandy Marrett and his squadron colleagues flew some of the most dangerous air missions of the war as on-scene commanders, in charge of rescuing the scores of US Navy and Air Force pilots shot down over North Vietnam and Laos.A Main Selection of the Military Book Club “A great read for everyone and a must book for all aviation enthusiasts.” —C. E. “Bud” Anderson, World War II triple ace and author of To Fly and Fight “‘That others may live’ was their motto and each of us who flew in that war knew should our luck run out they would be there. I cannot recount the times pilots were plucked out of enemy territory, or out of the jungle trees of Laos by those brave men whose call signs were Sandy and Jolly Green. Often they gave their own lives to save another. Greater love hath no man than that. To each of them I give my everlasting respect, admiration, and deep affection. Reach into your hearts as you read this book and understand the lengths to which men can love and support one another in the times of stress. It will make you just a bit prouder to be an American.” —Robin Olds, retired general and triple ace

  Mad Women is a tell-all account of life in the New York  
  advertising world of the 1960s and '70s from Jane Maas, a female  
  copywriter who succeeded in the primarily male environment portrayed by  
  the hit TV show Mad Men.Fans of the show are dying to  
  know how accurate it is: did people really have that much sex in the  
  office? Were there really three-martini lunches? Were women really  
  second-class citizens? Jane Maas says the answer to all three questions  
  is unequivocally yes. And her book, based on her own experiences and  
  countless interviews with her peers, gives the full stories, from the  
  junior account man whose wife nearly left him when she found the copy of 
   Screw magazine he'd used to find "entertainment" for a client,  
  to the Ogilvy & Mather agency's legendary annual sex-and-booze-filled Boat Ride, from which it was said no virgin ever returned  
  intact. Wickedly funny and full of juicy inside information, Mad Women also 
   tackles the tougher issues of the era, such as equal pay, rampant  
  jaw-dropping sexism, and the difficult choice many women faced between  
  motherhood and their careers.
