No Reason for Dying - A Reluctant Combat Pilot's Confession of Hypocrisy, Infidelity and War (Paperback)

During the Vietnam War, Brian Howard Settles flew nearly two hundred combat missions in a jet fighter as he struggled with feelings of isolation from his convictions, personal inadequacy, and inner questions of his loyalty to a nation from which he felt alienated. Settles grapples with his hypocrisy in selling out on himself and his marriage in exchange for filling his emotional neediness with the glorified machismo of being a fighter pilot. In his guts and glory story, this retired airline captain discloses the awful truth of his guilt laden mania for booze, broads, and battle, sharing the intense, unshakeable emotional cost that lives in the isolation and deprivation that is war. The raw confession of his inner conflict and self-doubt is stirring, preventing No Reason for Dying from becoming a typical Vietnam War memoir. Rather, it's the surrender of himself; weaving a ruthlessly honest story of one man's private torment to survive incredible odds in search of his honor and dignity.
