Airborne: A Guided Tour of an Airborne Task Force

Representing the very best from the Army and Air Force, the Airborne Task Force is a formidable combination of manpower and firepower. Now, Tom Clancy examines this elite branch of our nation's armed forces. With pinpoint accuracy and a style more compelling than any fiction, the acclaimed author of Executive Orders delivers a fascinating account of the Airborne juggernaut - the people, the technology, and Airborne's mission in an ever-changing world. Airborne includes two Tom Clancy "mini-novels" - real world scenarios involving the Airborne Task Force; Airborne's weapons of the twenty-first century, including the Javelin anti-tank missile, the hypersonic LOSAT fire support system, and the Comanche Stealth Helicopter; Eighteen weeks: Life in an Airborne Alert Brigade; exclusive photographs, illustrations, and diagrams; plus an in-depth interview with the incoming commander of the 18th Airborne Corps, General John M. Keane.
