Tempered Steel: The Three Wars of Triple Air Force Cross Winner Jim Kasler by Perry D. Luckett and Charles L Byler. Potomac Books (http://www.potomacbooksinc.com), 22841 Quicksilver Drive, Dulles, Virginia 20166, 2005, 320 pages, $22.36 (hardcover), $15.16 (softcover) (2006).

I've never known of another book's title and subtitle that described its protagonist so well. Tempered Steel: The Three Wars of Triple Air Force Cross Winner Jim Kasler chronicles the heroic life of this Air Force colonel, a jet-fighter ace during the Korean War and the only Airman in history to receive three Air Force Crosses. This biography is a gripping account of a man whose unparalleled commitment to "service before self' is something we should all emulate.
