This book is sure to be a hit among military buffs due to its de scriptions of combat scenes and rev erence for the men who fought in the Vietnam War. Fast Movers is a historical ac count of the air war over Vietnam from the point of view of American pilots who fought it. While the book is a useful historical tool as it takes the reader inside the minds of the men who flew combat missions in the war, it is also absurdly testos- terone-charged. Unfortunately, the book details the lives of only the most decorated pilots and leaders. While this will likely stir the patriotic blood of any Michigan militiaman, it leaves a large p;u1 of the story untold. The stories of men who left their wives and families and endured countless hardships so they could feel the “rush" of battle one more time are tit for a John Woo movie, but they lack realism. This book concentrates on the brilliant exploits of the pilots fly ing the missions every day, but after reading the book, a reader might be left with the impression that the United States won the war. Still, there are poignant moments in the b<x)k, and interv iews with for mer pilots lend the book an insider's point of view. One portion of the book in particular brings home the reality of the life of a combat pilot when a former pilot describes leav ing his friend, who had been shot down, behind to die in a Vietnamese prison camp. His descriptions of how this event haunted him for the next 25 years are moving, indeed. ■jUSTIN ( -Gov.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra Friedrich Neitzsche Published by Modern Library thustra betwt Thus Spoke Zarathustra is one of the most influen tial books ever written. It is also one of the most diffi cult to read. This book is known mostly because it was the work in which Neitzsche first posed the idea of the Overman — a new human being who is intelligent enough and powerful enough to move beyond such restrictions as religion and morality. In this book. Neitzsche uses Zarathustra, who has been called an autobiographical character, as the herald of the coming of the Overman. The book follows Zar cate people about the Overman. In Neitzsche’s theory, man is a 1 and the Overman. However, man n come Overman, which is what Zai*; book convincing people to do.
