The Skies Belong to Us
''The Skies Belong to Us: Love and Terror in the Golden Age of Hijacking'' (2013) is a narrative nonfiction book by United States author Brendan I. Koerner. It is a history of the "golden age" of aircraft hijacking in the United States from the first incident in May 1961 through January 1973. Hijackings during this period took place as often as once a week, with about 160 incidents in total (most were to Cuba). The book looks at the causes of the epidemic, some of the more famous ones and follows in-depth the story of the longest-distance skyjacking in American history, involving Willie Roger Holder and Catherine Marie Kerkow, a young couple who took control of Western Airlines Flight 701 on June 2, 1972 and ended up flying across the Atlantic Ocean to Algeria. It finally examines what brought the hijacking craze to an end in 1973.
The book was favorably reviewed including in the ''New York Times Book Review'', ''New York Times'', ''Washington Post'', ''Los Angeles Times'', ''The National'' (Abu Dhabi), ''SFGate'', and ''Bookforum''.
==Awards and honors==
It was an ALA Notable Books for Adults (2014), and was one of the ''New York Times'' 100 Notable Books of the Year (2013). It was longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction (2014).
