Kracek is a fighter pilot as capable of destroying his rivals with words as he is with bullets, a man as courageous on the ground as he is in the air, who sees his enemies not as faceless inhuman beings, but as good men and women on the other side of a war none of us want.His encounters with a guerilla leader of equal resolve and intellect raise more questions about the war than answers. Despite its horrors, the two men never lose their humanity and realize an unsettling truth-they are not the enemy.
