"Good to Go" - The Rescue of Capt. Scott O'Grady, USAF, from Bosnia

So perfectly executed was the mission to rescue Capt. Scott O'Grady that it amazed even the men responsible. Just five hours after radio contact was first made the Air Force captain was safely on board the USS Kearsarge. The downed F-16 fighter pilot's rescue from a Bosnian mountainside electrified the US in June 1995 and led to renewed faith in the military. This book tells the story of the mission in the words of the men who commanded, planned, and carried it out.
