Ace Rivals is an account of courage and the unflagging patriotism of American military forces who fought the Pacific and Korean wars. It's right on target. I know. I was there. As a veteran of WWII and the Korean conflict I can vouch for the manner in which the author states his facts. This is a book for every historican, military student, in fact for everyone who understands the real meaning of "national pride". A great read. AJ Davis
