"An exciting book, a real page-turner."

"That Others May Live is not just a great adventure story. Reading about the exploits of the military's elite pararescue jumpers, you can feel deeply the ache of decency, patriotism, service, and honor -- the profound desire to make the world better that shapes the American mythology of altruism."        
-- Bob Shacochis, author of The Immaculate Invasion
