Picking up where his acclaimed When Thunder Rolled left off, Palace
Cobra is the story of Ed Rasimus's return to Vietnam to fight a war
that many Americans tried to forget
When F-105 pilot Ed Rasimus completed his 100 missions over
Vietnam, he returned stateside to a normal life: sitting at a desk
and teaching student pilots. Two years later, he volunteered to go
for a second tour of duty. Determined not to die in a losing cause,
and relentlessly searching for that next adrenaline rush, Rasimus
and the other F-4 Phantom pilots continued the ferocious air war in
the North--dodging SAMs and gunning for MiGs--and routinely cheated
death.
When America finally got serious about ending the war, Rasimus and
the other pilots put it all on the line, pounding Hanoi with
everything they had, and flying above POW camps to let the troops
know they were not alone. Gripping, earnest, and unforgettable,
Rasimus's combat memoir is, in the end, a heartfelt tribute to
those who never made it back.
