I personally know author Sean J. Flynn and was the first in line to pick up this book at his book signing in Mitchell, SD, where Professor Flynn is an assistant professor of History at Dakota Wesleyan University. In "Cheif - Marine Corps Warrior", Flynn follows the military life of his father, John P. "Pat" Flynn (also known as "Chief"), a direct descendent of Chief Spotted Tail, the uncle to Crazy Horse.
Pat Flynn's military career began as a Corsair pilot in the Pacific during World War II as well as a Corsair pilot during the Korean War, where he was shot down and taken captive for nearly two years.
Flynn's determination and Faith sustained him during his time in the hands of Chinese Communists where he was placed under enormous physical and psychological strain, which is greatly described by Sean Flynn.
This book is a tribute to one of the greatest heroes of South Dakota and the United States. If I could've given this book more than five stars, I would have.
This is a damn good book about a damn good American.
