Review
"Rosenkranz deftly tells of his own mixed feelings about possible combat...offers a near-epic account of the flight of his unit...describes with insight and clarity the feelings of the men who have been trained to fight a war but have never done so...a vivid picture of an airman's service in the last gulf war."

Review
"From the Foreword by Vice President Richard Cheney (then former Secretary of Defense): "Vipers in the Storm" accurately reflects the decisive role that the United States Air Force played in defeating Saddam Hussein's military and liberating Kuwait. It is a superb account of modern air warfare. Most of all, it is a reminder of how enormously fortunate we are that there are young Americans like Keith Rosenkranz able and willing to defend the nation.
