What readers think of Enduring Courage, plus links to write your own review.

I read Eddie Rickenbacker's "autobiography" in 1967 which I enjoyed, but Enduring Courage is the icing on the cake. The book emphasizes his car racing, WWI flying, and surviving two plane crashes. What a page turner! The book reads like fiction, but I learned so much about WWI flying and its changing philosophy. At times, a little too technical for me. I think it would be great supplemental reading for high school history.

Driven by his poverty-stricken, abusive childhood, Rickenbacker's courage and determination carried him through an extraordinary life. It's an amazing story and an example of how true life can be more incredible than fiction.

The book chronicles more than just the life of Eddie Rickenbacker. It's an amazing journey through the history of car racing and the rapid evolution of the airplane.

We forget the cost and sacrifice for so many things we rely on in our daily lives today and take for granted. Reading this historical account definitely makes one aware of that dangerous journey and those courageous men whose vision and guts brought us to this point.

The book hit a few slow spots (for a non-mechanical female), but overall it was wonderful and kept me glued to its pages.
