Punk's War reveals the inner workings of the U.S. Navy as only an insider can. An authentic and riveting thriller, it is a highly acclaimed novel of a fighter pilot's experience in the era just before 9/11. As the U.S. military enters another post-conflict period, the themes of leadership during crisis and accomplishing the mission make Punk's War more relevant than ever.
Reviews / Votes
""Suspense, drama, and action as hot as a fighter jet's afterburner, Carroll's account of modern naval aviation reads like Top Gun on steroids...Speaks volumes about military careerism, aviation technology, naval operations in harm's way, and the men who fly and fight for a living." -Publishers Weekly"Tom Clancy meets Joseph Heller in this riveting, irreverent portrait of the fighter pilots of today's Navy. At last somebody got it right. I couldn't put it down." -Stephen Coonts
