This book has given me a new sense of war. I used to want to join the army, but now that I have read this book and have aquired a new knowledge of what can happen, I have reconsidered. I rated this book with a five because of its action parts. The writing really alowed me to visualize what was happening.
Surviving and prevailing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As soon as "Return With Honor" was delivered, I started reading. Before I knew it, I had finished half the book. (At work the next day, kept it in my pocket so I could read it when there were a few spare minutes). I found it to be an uplifting story of Capt. O'Grady's struggle with his situation, and his faith in God. For me, it affirmed the most important things: faith, family and health.
Return with hornor is the best book on Scott there is.

Return with honor was a great book and very informational. In comparison to Basher five-two the book is more depth and more exciting. Ever since I meet him at the National Jamboree Boy Scout in 1997 I have read every thing I seen on his story. This is definitely the best book on him yet.

This is a great book. It's a fast paced page turner....being only 200 pages long, there's not a lot of fluff...I read it in just a few sittings. A surprising bonus was to read how Mr. O'Grady experienced his time on the run from a Spiritual POV. It added a depth to his story without becoming too preachy. I hope to have the opportunity to meet him someday. In the meantime, I'll just say: READ THIS BOOK!
If you're sick of fiction...

Personally, I've been on a NON-Fiction kick & Captain Scott O'Grady's book will be in my top five for a long time! I have to agree with all the other "5 star" comments...Scott's narrative is VERY gripping; I felt like I was in his rain-soaked shoes the entire book! The first time thru, I couldn't put it down...I think I've read it about 3 or 4 times, so far. This book makes you appreciate the *truly* important things in life. You get a great insight into a hard-earned & rewarding Air Force career, great family and friends & a renewed relationship with God during this 6-day ordeal. Very moving & spiritually uplifting book overall. Get it.
