War Crimes: International Military Tribunal Book

I really, truly wanted to give this book 4 stars. I had a genuine like for the author and his story, and I do think it is a highly underrated book. I know it doesn't sound underrated with only 3 stars, but it is true. For me it had ebbs and flows. For ten pages it would be great, and then for ten pages it would be dull and too much daily life at Takhli airbase or running around to other bases and places. If the author had sliced some of this dull daily rigmarole from the book then I think that would make it a 4 star.
I chose this book expecting lots of juicy details of life in the cockpit of a F-105 over South East Asia during the Vietnam War, what I got was a bit of that but mostly, life on the ground in Thailand.
I learned a lot from Bell's story though. I learned about F-105's which was what I had wanted when I picked this book up. And I learned about Kenneth Bell, who was a humble man who took blame when he was due it, and never pumped himself up to be anything more than a simple man who flew F-105's the best he could.
