Request or Write A Book Review

A book review is often an easy way to try your hand at writing professionally. The Air Commando Journal is seeking reviews of books that may be of interest to our readers. Book reviews should be between 750 and 1,000 words, and provide readers with an overview of the book, a judgement regarding the author’s argument, and a recommendation about the audience the book is most appropriate for. If you have an idea for a review, please contact our editors at bookrevieweditor@aircommando.org. They will be happy to advise and assist you.

If you are an author of a book about Special Operations, Air Commandos, or anything related to us and want the Air Commando Journal to review your book, please email bookrevieweditor@aircommando.org to arrange shipment of a complimentary copy for review.
