From one of flyover land’s most-awarded newspaper columnists and laureate of the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame, comes a long-awaited collection of William Hamilton’s often humorous, always illuminating, newspaper columns. For 35 years, Dr. Hamilton’s Central View, has informed and entertained readers throughout America’s heartland. Striving to be just slightly to the right of center, and relying on successful careers in-the-trenches of military service, political consulting, old-fashioned journalism, and the advertising/public relations business, Dr. Hamilton’s penetrating insights into: cultural, geopolitical, economic, history, military, and political affairs provides readers with an unconventional perspective on past and current events – a perspective not typically found in America’s mainstream media (MSM). Bill Hamilton is a skilled and entertaining writer, a pleasure for an editor to work with, and one of the rarest of literary animals: a conservative with a sense of humor. – Sid Hurlburt, longtime guest columns editor for USA TODAY Kim Stevens, fellow pilot and publisher of the State Aviation Journal/AVED Magazine comments: Like the 1980s Lays Potato Chips slogan - I bet you can’t eat just one - reading just one of William Hamilton’s columns just can’t be done. Or shouldn’t. To miss even one of his stories is to deprive you of his years of wit, wisdom and smile provoking situations.
Aviator, master parachutist, avid skier, sailor, linguist, highly decorated soldier, Bill Hamilton, lives a life of high adventure about which he writes with wit and wisdom, says Warren Miller, the founder of Warren Miller Entertainment. Readers looking for a refreshing change from the MSM’s usual group-think, will find in these columns good-natured humor and new ways of looking at subjects, both old and new.
