"Interesting reading for those working in the airspace industry, though I would not recommend it to "plain" passengers. Its audience is also limited due to it focusing in the American industry and its organizations.
It provides some insights on how this industry operates, and its political and economic aspects. It helps to understand why flying is expensive, and why we should distrust cheap airspace companies.
I have found the text too sensationalist, full of crashes and deaths figures, but lacking a proper context. For example, the appendix contains a list of air accidents reported by the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) where fatalities numbers are provided; but these number of fatalities, without the context of how many passengers have flown, is useless.
It is also political bias, where for example, the impact of Reagan's Deregulation is very hardly criticized.
In summary, I enjoyed the reading because I have some experience in this sector, but it should be considered that it presents a too pessimistic view on air traffic for those users who aren't aware of some of its internal details."

- Excellent book on safety and TCAS. An incident I was involved with was determed to be a TCAS save by the FAA. This book prointed by story very accurantly. Almost died that day. Glad it is published in this book
