The Real Life Heroes of 'The Perfect Storm'.
'You gotta pick someone up in a helicopter, people are shooting at you - you going to sit down and rest? You going out on sick call? It's not an option. Maybe you die - so what? At least your died doing something worth while.'
Senior Master Sergeant Jack Brehm is a pararescue jumper or "PJ", America's most elite military unit. Little-known, multi-skilled and astonishingly brave, the PJs primary mission is the rescue of pilots shot down behind enemy lines. These are the unsung heroes who swim through monster-sized waves or who dangle precariously over raging seas. It was Jack Brehm who coordinated the rescue efforts that were chronicled in the bestselling book 'The Perfect Storm'.
In this book, we follow Brehm and his fellow PJs from PJ school in 1978 to the present day. The daring missions are relived in full detail. We see how Jack and his wife Peggy have raised five children and kept their marriage intact through two decades with one parent spending a good part of that time in harm's way somewhere in the world . . .
Thrilling, shocking and utterly compelling, this is real life heroic action-adventure at its fascinating best!
