"Here is a man that not only did well as an actor but he was also a good man. A characteristic sadly lacking among many have to deal with heavy doses of fame. And he didn't brag about his service either. Good book and my hats off to the man it is about."
"A background reader highlighting a true patriot; first person with insightful interviews and details of one of Hollywood's most well-known actors. Details of his personal life are included, along with impressions of what it was like to work with a leader who was concerned with the lives and welfare of his people first, and his own success second. The author also evaluates what the motivations were of BGen (Ret) Stewart... Like all who met or were under his command, General Stewart was revered and trusted as a competent leader and pilot."
"Ultimately disappointing. Poorly written, repetitive, and wanders off the subject. There's a four-page summary of Stewart's WWII activities in the appendices that's better than the whole damn book. Get this from a library and save your $$$."
