Once an Eagle

A powerful military novel, Once an Eagle spins a classic tale of leadership, honour, and courage spanning over half a century of US military conflicts. From World War I through to Vietnam, Sam Damon’s battlefield successes, coupled with his dedication to his country and his troops, sees him promoted, first to Lieutenant and then beyond. Simultaneously, his lifelong adversary, Courtney Massengale, uses cunning and political connections to do the same. As the two men rise through the ranks together, their inevitable clashes throw into brilliant relief what it means to be an officer and a leader.
