Altman shares a lifetime of remarkable experiences, from Air Force Reserve stories and outrageous military moments to dangerous jobs, fast cars, and unbelievable close calls. Told with honesty, wit, and humility, this funny military memoir proves that real life is often stranger than fiction.

More than a military service memoir, this is a collection of real life adventure stories filled with unforgettable characters, risky decisions, and hard-earned lessons. Whether surviving dangerous situations, working grueling jobs, or finding humor in life's most unexpected moments, Altman's stories capture the spirit of a generation growing up in the 1960s and coming of age during Vietnam.

18 Tons, 92 Hours and 160 Other Clouds of Dust is a working class American memoir and a memoir of extraordinary experiences that reminds us life isn't measured by the years we live, but by the stories we have to tell.
