{"product_id":"9781479710508","title":"Air Assault: Sharing Military Experience","description":"\u003cp\u003eAIR ASSAULT  SHARING MILITARY EXPERIENCE is vital for a wide range of readers and critics. For those who may loathe the military it shows that all is not jack-boot sadism. For those who would place the military on an alabaster pedistal, it gives a reality check: mistakes can occur, many of them the author's own errors. It gives critical insight for moms, dads, siblings, partners who basically want to know \"what's it like\", without a lot of rah-rah fluff. Important for new NCO's and junior officers it gives a checklist of \"Lieutenant's Mistakes\" with the hope these will not be repeated. Chapters are topical:  fighting sequences, enlisted men, NCO's and officers, the critical factor of chow, those staples of all wars--going out and going home, \"Shank Mechanics and Hospitals,\" with a concluding \"What do you think about the war?\" The writing is based on the experiences of the author, William Crisp, a rifle platoon leader with the 1st Battalion (Airborne) 8th Cavalry Regiment, First Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam. This is not, however, just a \"Vietnam\" book. The issues span time and have immediate relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181129449712,"sku":"9781479710508","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781479710508_p0.jpg?v=1763764821","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781479710508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
