By official accounts, the Navy SEALs of Alpha platoon returned as heroes after their 2017 deployment to Mosul. But within the platoon a different war raged. Even as Alpha's chief, Eddie Gallagher, was being honored by the Navy for his leadership, several of his men were preparing to report him for war crimes, alleging that he'd stabbed a prisoner in cold blood and taken lethal sniper shots at unarmed civilians. Some in his platoon saw Gallapher as a man who appeared to be coming unhinged after multiple deployments in America's forever wars. Philipps reveals the story of a group of special operators caught in a moral crucible: should they uphold their oath and turn in their chief, or honor the SEALs' unwritten code of silence? -- adapted from jacket 600 10 $a Gallagher, Eddie, $d 1979- $x Trials, litigation, etc. 610 10 $a United States. $b SEALs $b SEALs $x Military life. 610 10 $a United States. $b Alpha Platoon $b SEAL Team Seven. $b Alpha Platoon $v Biography. 610 20 $a IS (Organization) 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $z United States. 650 0 $a War crime trials $z United States. 650 0 $a Courts-martial and courts of inquiry $z United States. 650 0 $a Iraq War, 2003-2011 $x Campaigns $z Mosul. $z Mosul. 650 0 $a Military discipline $z United States. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20220201011405.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20211002012153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A04D0C48234811ECBAAFE49D31ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
