Summary of David Philipps's Alpha
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Craig Miller was the second-in-charge of Alpha platoon, and he was in charge of Eddie Gallagher. Miller was a tall Texan who liked to wear cowboy boots and didn’t fuck around when it came to laying down the law. #2 In 2016, Eddie became the platoon chief for Alpha platoon. The two platoons were at a remote Navy installation called La Posta in the dry, rocky Laguna Mountains fifty miles east of San Diego. They were there for close-quarters combat training. #3 The game consisted of Alpha and Bravo teams having to assemble their pistols as fast as possible. The first team to finish could take the magazine holding the single round in the center of the table, slam it into their gun, and shoot the other new guy in the chest. It was a test of weapon knowledge and performance under pressure. #4 Alpha had been known as one of the worst platoons in SEAL Team 7 for a number of years. But it had quickly become the best. A big reason for that was Chief Eddie Gallagher.
Lethal Warriors
Pulitzer Prize finalist David Philipps brings to life the chilling story of how today's American heroes are slipping through the fingers of society—with multiple tours of duty and inadequate mental-health support creating a crisis of PTSD and a large-scale failure of veterans to reintegrate into society. Following the frightening narrative of the 506th Infantry Regiment—who had rebranded themselves as the Lethal Warriors after decades as the Band of Brothers—he reveals how the painful realities of war have multiplied in recent years, with tragic outcomes for America's soldiers, compounded by an indifferent government and a shrinking societal safety net.
Wild Horse Country
The “insightful [and] even-handed” (Outside) story of a heroic animal whose existence is in danger. The wild horse, popularly known as the mustang, is so ingrained in the American imagination that even those who have never seen one know what it stands for: freedom, independence, the bedrock ideals of the nation. But in modern times it has become entangled in controversy and bureaucratic mismanagement, and now its future is imperiled. In Wild Horse Country, Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times reporter David Philipps traces the rich history of wild horses in America and investigates the shocking dilemma they pose in our own time.
