Description: "In Cassada James Salter focuses on the lives of officers in an Air Force squadron in cold war Europe and their response to bright and ambitious newcomers. Two planes, unable to land from a training mission, become the striking focal point of the story, as Salter captures the strange camaraderie of loneliness, trust, and alienation among military men ready to sacrifice all in the name of pride and duty.".

"Spare and exacting, this story of precision and passion is as immediate as tomorrow and as haunting as yesterday."--BOOK JACKET.
