The First Man Off The Plane by David O. Strickland

Author

The First Man Off The Plane

This darkly comic novel is set during EGRESS RECAP--the return of American POWs from Vietnam's "Hanoi Hilton" in 1973. Like Kurt Vonnegut's classic SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE, THE FIRST MAN OFF THE PLANE features POWs...as well as the Vietnamese, the Home Front, and the Nixon Administration--including President Richard Milhous Nixon, Henry Kissinger, John Ehrlichman, H.R. Haldeman, John Dean, General Alexander Haig, and Hugh Hefner's Playmates...among others.

A FIRST CLASS SATIRE

***** 5 Stars

If you are among the rare breed who admire good satire, you must read David Strickland's First Man Off the plane. It surely is a candidate for one of the best satires ever written. It contains literary allusions that will keep you reading and re-reading, then want to share with your friends. They will thank you.

Great Ride

***** Five Stars

The First Man off the Plane is a mind bender. If you were born after 1971 read this book to help gain an understanding of today’s current events dealing with N. Korea.
When reading this book I would at times burst out laughing and be shaking my head in disgust the next. This book shows the ugly side of war from multiple standpoints. I like the times the reader spends in the White House for the shenanigans.
A great read and a good listen.
