Since his resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives, Jim Wright has been silent on the incredible events that shook Washington in the 1980s and ended his brilliant career. Now, at last, he bares his soul and completes the history of this turbulent time. His very personal, anecdote-filled story takes us inside the highest levels of government and challenges our assumptions by telling us how President Reagan invited Wright into the Central American peace process.

"The Flying Circus is about the action, but it's also about the melting pot that was the army greeting a young man from Texas; what it took to be the bombardier, whose proficiency made or broke missions; and the events that formed a man who would stand astride the national stage for more than three decades." ~from inside cover.

Wright traverses the usual rites of passage, including post-Pearl Harbor enlistment, impulsive war marriage, immersion in a melting pot of fellow recruits, poignant farewell to family and, finally, combat with the Japanese as a bombardier on a B-24 Liberator. He survived his plane's run-ins with Zeroes and flak unscathed, but his unit suffered heavy losses, and he recounts the ordeals of other aircrews who were shot down and captured-and sometimes beheaded-by the Japanese.
