DESCRIPTION:
A Must Have for Anyone Ever Stationed at Barksdale Avid Reader As an AF brat and a civil servant who has been stationed at numerous Air Force bases, I found this book totally fascinating to read! Yes, it's easy to read, but that's what makes it so enjoyable. It's not your typical "history" book that will bore the average reader. It's informative and entertaining at the same time. I wish I had a book like this from every base I've lived on and/or worked at.. A Customer said Terribly written. The photos are decent, but the book is terribly written, I'm afraid. Much of the text seems as if it was penned by a fifth-grader. The good people of Barksdale deserve better than this.. "Interesting piece of history" according to Susan Morgan. As a resident of Louisiana I found this book to be very informative & enjoyable! My daughter used this as a reference for a history project. (She won first place!) Her project was on 'The History Of Barksdale AFB'. The judges found it impressive that one of her references was written by her Uncle Shawn(my brother)! So our family is proud of him & my daughter greatly appreciated the help he provided her with!
