      Courting the Abyss updates the philosophy of free expression for a world that is very different from the one in which it originated. The notion that a free society should allow Klansmen, neo-Nazis, sundry extremists, and pornographers to spread their doctrines as freely as everyone else has come increasingly under fire. At the same time, in the wake of 9/11, the Right and the Left continue to wage war over the utility of an absolute vision of free speech in a time of increased national security. Courting the Abyss revisits the tangled history of free speech, finding resolutions

      Hrdinové války v Zálivu John Peters a John Nichol popsali své osudy a utrpení v iráckém zajetí v knize Sestřelení tornáda. Její úspěch vyvolal velký zájem o oba letce a o jejich další osudy. To byl důvod, proč se rozhodli napsat další knihu, tentokrát s názvem Tým Tornáda. Kniha popisuje, jak se John Peters a John Nichol stali letci, jak jejich životy ovlivnila válka v Zálivu a jaké je to působit v Royal Air Force, létat na nesmírně složitých letounech, jejichž cena je mnoho milionů liber, a neustále se připravovat na válku. Tým Tornáda poskytuje mnoho autentických informací a zážitků těm, kdo chtějí pochopit, jak vypadá v těchto pohnutých dobách život eskadry prvního sledu, nebo jaké je to létat s letounem typu Tornado na hranici jeho limitů při mnohonárodních leteckých cvičeních

      Sestřelení tornáda
    • Vyprávění dvou vojenských letců, veteránů ze Zálivu, o svém působení a výcviku na základně RAF v období míru. Oba autoři, pilot a navigátor, popisují autentické zážitky z běžného roku života v Air Force: kouzlo i rizika leteckého mírového výcviku, traumata války v Zálivu, měnící se úlohu letectva v současnosti. Po knize Sestřelení Tornáda, kde vylíčili válku v Zálivu a své zajetí, je to jejich další příspěvek k přiblížení vojenské letecké tématiky všem zájemcům. Příspěvek zajímavý a osobitý, prověřený úspěšnou kariérou dvou profesionálních vojáků, příslušníků elitní eskadry RAF a válečných hrdinů. Doplněno černobílými i barevnými dokumentárními fotografiemi.
