Far from friends or family, Calabash must overcome challenges and adversity he never could have imagined. Ultimately, Calabash comes to understand himself, and the true meaning of home.

      Robert Mason wstąpił do armii Stanów Zjednoczonych, ponieważ marzył o tym, żeby latać. Jego marzenia spełniły się w szczególnych okolicznościach: znalazł się bowiem wśród pierwszych pilotów helikopterów, którzy w 1965 roku zostali wysłani do Wietnamu. Wcielony do słynnej 1. Kawalerii Powietrznej podczas swojej dwuletniej służby brał udział w ponad tysiącu akcji, co jest nieprawdopodobnym wręcz wynikiem, biorąc pod uwagę bardzo ciężkie warunki wojenne. Mimo że sam nie został zestrzelony, wielokrotnie wracał do bazy w podziurawionym Hueyu, wielokrotnie też ocierał się o śmierć. Dodatkowymi atutami jego bardzo szczerej opowieści są ciekawostki techniczne dotyczące pilotażu i taktyki, jak również opisy błędów pilotów, bezlitośnie wykorzystywanych przez Wietkong. Wspomnienia te to świadectwo okrucieństwa wojny, niekiedy lekkomyślności i braku wiedzy wojskowych dowódców, ale przede wszystkim wstrząsający dokument pokazujący kruchość ludzkiej psychiki w sytuacjach ekstremalnych. Poruszająca opowieść o sile przyjaźni, odwadze, strachu i poświęceniu. Robert Mason po powrocie do Stanów Zjednoczonych cierpiał z powodu wojennych przeżyć przez całe swoje późniejsze życie. Początkowo pracował jako doświadczony instruktor pilotażu, w końcu jednak z powodu silnej traumy, której doznał w Wietnamie, a której skutki utrudniały mu codzienne funkcjonowanie, został odsunięty od latania, które tak naprawdę jako jedyne trzymało go w jako takiej równowadze. „Powiedz, że się boisz to piekielnie szczera, odważna książka”.

      Gareth Southgate got the England job by accident. Taking over after Big Sam Allardyce's reign came to an untimely end after just one game, former England Under 21 boss Southgate looked like the traditional FA blazers' safe bet. A man who wouldn't upset anyone, would look smart and be on the back pages not the front ones. With his trademark waistcoat, finely trimmed fashionable beard and a willingness to share credit rather than look to monopolise it, the former Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough man fitted the image
