Pressure Cooker Tells It Straight
This was a well written and entertaining book. I worked for 32 years as an Air Traffic Control Specialist. Although I didn't work in as complex a facility as the LAX TRACON or ARTCC I can tell you the stories in this book accurately reflect the day to day operations in the system. I enjoyed reading this book and if you're an aviation enthusiast I think you will too.

Pressure Cooker review
This book is good. I'm a retired air traffic controller and know the authors. It is close to accurate, with a bit of fiction. Great read
