When the Wolf Rises

When the wolf rises was a term used by Theodore Roosevelt to describe Fear as experienced in life situations to include combat and other extreme happenings. This term is applied to the role of the B-52s and the effect on the crews flying out of the island of Guam and from U-Tapao Thailand during the eleven days starting on December 18th 1972. This personal account is a graphic description on the results of those raids from a commander of a B-52 squadron during the raids which led to the end of the Vietnam War and its aftermath.
