Product DescriptChronicles the sixty-year career of Red Adair, an American who began extinguishing blazes in the Texas fields in the 1920s and continues to fight massive fires in the Middle EastFrom Library JournalThis life story of Paul Neal (Red) Adair, an extraordinary good ol Texas boy, is interspersed with, and overshadowed by, stories of the famous well fires he extinguished from Arkansas to the Southeast Asian peninsula of Malaya. Also included are the 1988 North Sea and the 1961 Algerian blazes--the latter visible to American astuts from their space . There is great drama in Reds battles with nerve and nitro against disasters (John Wayne played a character based on Adair in the 1969 film Hellfighters ), and there is just enough technical detail to enthrall readers and make them accept the authors estimate of Red Adair as an all-time hero. Readers Digest plans to serialize the story, so expect patron demand for the book. --Janice Dunham, John Jay Coll. Lib., CUNYCopyright 1990 Reed Business Informat, Inc.
