Alpha

Eddie Gallagher and the War for the Soul of the Navy SEALs

David Philipps

"Alpha" is a gripping and meticulously researched account of the Navy SEALs of Alpha platoon, their leader Eddie Gallagher, and the courtroom battle that revealed the dark underbelly of America's special forces. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Philipps exposes the moral crucible that SEALs faced when forced to choose between upholding their oath and turning in their chief or remaining silent. With riveting detail, Philipps lays bare the reality of war and its psychological toll on those who fight it, revealing a larger story of how SEAL Teams drifted off course after 9/11, and of the secret brotherhood that festered within their ranks. This page-turning tale of battle, honor, and betrayal is a remarkable exposé of the fault lines fracturing our country.
