Big Mother 40

Big Mother 40 is a story well told and one in which aviation and special warfare veterans of the Vietnam conflict will identify, and about which they will tell their friends.  Younger readers will enjoy the book simply as a great adventure.

— Michael Field, Captain USN (retired) Wings of Gold, Winter 2012 issueLiebman skips macho combat images to plunk us into the deeper connections of war, from fear and courage to the truer realms of human relationships. His detail is authentic, and he lends even greater validity to the operations he describes with valuable author notes at the back of the book including a historic analysis of the time, military glossary and roster of characters.
