The Mouse That Soared: Tales of the Siskiyou Smokejumpers

Více o knize

The story of Allen Owen, aka Mouse – a 4’11” combat marine and legendary smokejumper, would be enough to make Paul Fattig’s The Mouse That Soared a stirring read. Owen lived an inspired and inspiring life, overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles almost to the end. But the book is chock full of startling characters and high adventure that together make this a welcome addition to the literature by and about those who leap from the sky to take on wildland fire. -- Back cover
