Chains of Command is a well written, well-researched book that, while fictitious, closely parallels many current events. The author presents a gook knowledge of military aircraft and their operation, as well as the political tentacles that often affect military operations.

One of my benchmarks for appraising a book is what I call "The Believability Factor". This is especially important when writing a novel set in the social, political and military realities of the times. Dale Brown does a very good job tying his characters and plot to current events, except in a couple of places where he steps over the line, relating some unrealistic happenings that distract from the book's overall "Believability Factor". Author Tom Clancy was undoubtedly the master of the "believable" military novel, and he set the bar very high for all writers who would attempt to follow in his footsteps.

Chains of Command is well worth the read. It will capture your attention and entertain you to the last page, especially if you can ignore the few distractions

I read this in hard back but decided to order one to my kindle DX

Dale Brown has preceded the headlines with his book, "Chains of Command". It is a great book that has plenty of action, based on a reasonable thread to the story. Dale Brown is one of the best aviation thriller authors around. Happy reading....

This is a highly charged, action-packed, adventure yarn! It is dated, but that may be part of its appeal. Think of it as a "period piece", from three decades in the past. Then you can imagine, "What if?"

I decided to buy this book when it was cited in an episode of "Great Planes", on The Military Channel, that described the development and combat history of the F-111 fighter/bomber. The F-111 has always held my interest because of its swing-wing design and side-by-side (rather than tandem) seating. Therefore, it occurs to me that, if unusual airplane design does not intrigue you, then this story may not hold your attention.

I am an Army brat, so I really enjoyed the true-to-life depiction of the interactions among the wide variety of characters and personalities that make up any organization in the uniformed services. Especially interesting is that a large part of the story is told from the perspective of one of the first female pilots in The United States Air Force. She had flown tanker jets and other types, but flying the F-111 was her chance to break through the "glass ceiling" for women in combat.

She, her male counterpart (and love interest), and the F-111, share equal billing as main characters, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the author brought them all to life. He did a good of painting a nuanced portrait of a woman blazing a trail in a traditionally male role, and a maverick pilot fighting demons from a previous combat experience, assigned to the same squadron, to fly a unique warplane into battle.

I am surprised that no one made a movie of this book.

Wer Dale Brown mag, dar muss sich dieses Buch auch kaufen! Hab das Buch gerne gelesen und werde mir auch weitere Bücher von Dale Brwon kaufen. Kaufempfehlung!!!

Like all military books. Plots are always good and fast moving. Always am looking for his next book. More. More.
