«Un libro che dà dipendenza.» Lauren Layne Henley Evans non ha tempo per pensare all'amore. Investe tutte le sue energie nel lavoro: non appena è stata assunta nel settore marketing di una società che organizza crociere di lusso, la sua vita ha cominciato a girare unicamente intorno alla carriera.

Cold War Warriors tells the little-known story of the operations by the Royal Australian Air Force's P-3 Orions during the latter years of the Cold War. The aircraft's largely low-profile missions, usually flown far from their base, were often shrouded by confidentiality. Now, access to declassified documents has allowed this story to be told. From the lead-up to their delivery in 1968, to the end of the Cold War in 1991; from the intrigues associated with the procurement of the aircraft and subsequent upgrades, to perilous moments experienced by the aircraft and their crews while conducting operations; and from triumphs to tragedies; Cold War Warriors documents the P-3's service in the RAAF in the context of the unfolding domestic and international events that shaped the aircraft's evolving missions. As well as being a story of the RAAF Orions and their growing capabilities, Cold War Warriors is also the story of the crews who flew the aircraft. Using their words, Cold War Warriors faithfully describes a number of incidents, both on the ground, and in the air, to provide a sense of the enormous breadth of service the P-3 Orion has provided to the Royal Australian Air Force, to Australia and to our allies.
