The bookshelves of retailers these days can seem overcrowded with first-person recollections of combat. Most are worth dipping into, some are rather dry, a bit tedious--you have to work hard to get something out of them--while a few are engrossing from the first word to the last. Bully Able Leader falls squarely into the latter category if you are interested in military aviation, the air war over Korea, or if you just want to pass the time with a thriller that is actually tied to real life. General Loving knows how to tell a story--there's plenty of action here, and the key to this book's value is the matter-of-fact casting of the narrative. Gen. Loving doesn't need to embellish anything--his experiences speak for themselves. In other words, the book captures and keeps your attention because you know you can trust the narrator: he has something worthwhile to say and he does so reliably and concisely. Indeed, so well written is this book that I couldn't put it down, I finished the volume in two sittings. Depending on your particular interest--life at a deployed location, the technical aspects of flying fighters, Korean War history--the book is well worth your time. As a retired USAF Lt Col, I found two aspects of the book to be particularly memorable. The first was the leadership challenges that General Loving faced; I'll leave this to readers to discover for themselves, but suffice it to say that General Loving's narrative puts the lie to the idea that USAF officers are essentially technicians. General Loving routinely faced circumstances in which success or failure pivoted on his judgment of fellow pilots.
