Weenie Kleegan: The Broken Places

By Hamlin Tallent

Hamlin Tallent's Weenie Kleegan introduced readers to a small-town boy from a fly-over place who became a naval aviator and hero. The Broken Places continues that story and Weenie's career takes off as he is assigned the prestigious job of an admiral's aide. He is thrilled to be flying the navy's newest jet, the F-14 Tomcat! But the post-war navy is no walk in the park and Weenie is confronted with simmering racial tensions, the role of women in naval aviation and questions about his effectiveness as a leader. A vengeful admiral threatens to ruin Weenie's career and the TAILHOOK scandal embroils him. Weenie faces loss and despair and feels the world is trying to break him. But he has his small town, and the love of his family on his side. And he finds Gaby.
