About this product
Product Information
The New York Times bestselling true account of John Chapman, Medal of Honor recipient and Special Ops Combat Controller, and his heroic one-man stand during the Afghan War, as he sacrificed his life to save the lives of 23 comrades-in-arms. In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,469-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of Navy SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness alone, with the enemy closing in on three sides. John Chapman's subsequent display of incredible valor -- first saving the lives of his SEAL teammates and then, knowing he was mortally wounded, single-handedly engaging two dozen hardened fighters to save the lives of an incoming rescue squad -- posthumously earned him the Medal of Honor. Chapman is the first airman in nearly fifty years to be given the distinction reserved for America's greatest heroes. Alone at Dawn is also a behind-the-scenes look at the Air Force Combat Controllers: the world's deadliest and most versatile special operations force, whose members must not only exceed the qualifications of Navy SEAL and Army Delta Force teams but also act with sharp decisiveness and deft precision -- even in the face of life-threatening danger. Drawing from firsthand accounts, classified documents, dramatic video footage, and extensive interviews with leaders and survivors of the operation, Alone at Dawn is the story of an extraordinary man's brave last stand and the brotherhood that forged him.

"A blend of military history, wartime drama, and the incredible true story of Sergeant John Chapman-the first Air Force Medal of Honor recipient since the Vietnam War- Alone at Dawn delivers blood-pumping action, heart-warming kindness, and an insider account of the most courageous individuals on the planet. Dan Schilling makes epic military heroism come alive and reminds us what true purpose is all about; and Lori Longfritz, John's sister, offers a poignant perspective on her brother's life, which was extraordinary long before his heroic one-man stand."-- DeborahLee James, 23rd secretary of the US Air Force, " Alone at Dawn is riveting and powerful. This stunning account reveals for the first time one of the most extraordinary acts of valor and courage in the annals of U.S. history. With this book, USAF CCT John Chapman now rightfully takes his place as an iconic hero of the Afghanistan War. All Americans should honor and enshrine the memory of such undaunted self-sacrifice and valor."-- Lt.Col. Dave Grossman, USA (Ret.), author of On Killing, On Combat, and AssassinationGeneration, "Themen who serve in Combat Control whose incredible story is presented in thisbook aren't asking for recognition. No late night talk show, video game or filmcould possibly begin to convey the intensity of the experience, the fear, thesense of duty and valor, the bonds that unite these men and, above all, theinner feelings and motivation of someone who has stepped up and accepted thechallenge of this toughest of Missions."-- Jeffrey"Skunk" Baxter, musician, national security specialist, "Illuminating . . . engaging and informative . . . This is an excellent book about a modern-day hero in a military field that rarely makes the front page."-- Booklist, "Along-overdue account not just of one hero but an entire force of heroes.Documenting Chapman's final mission, Schilling and Longfritz recreate theblood-soaked, desperate battle in all its dramatic detail, then fearlesslydelineate the most terrible choice combat can demand. It's a story that willupset some and inspire many, but will leave no reader unchanged."-- Jim DeFelice, coauthor of the #1 NewYork Times bestselling American Sniper, "Thisis a story of heroism of not only of one man, John Chapman, but a heroic breedof American warriors-Air Force Combat Controllers. It is a grippingaccount of Chapman's last moments and pays homage to a brotherhood dedicated tokeep America safe and free."-- Dr. Robert Kadlec,Assistant Secretary for Preparedness & Response, Former Deputy StaffDirector, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Special Assistant toPresident George W. Bush, "Themen who wear the Medal of Honor do so on behalf of all Americans-past, present,and future-who serve their country. I'm certain that if John Chapman hadsurvived the events that led to his Medal, he would be uncomfortable with beingsingled out as a hero. But the fact is, that day he saved many lives at thecost of his own, and dozens of families owe the safe return of their loved onesto him. Every American should know this story. Thanks to Alone at Dawn , the first comprehensive account of his one man standin Afghanistan, we have a chance to celebrate John Chapman's life and thecourageous work of his fellow Air Force Combat Controllers."-- Clinton Romesha, Medal of Honor recipient and New York Times bestselling author of Red Platoon, "In this informative and sometimes moving account, author and military veteran Schilling and Longritz pay tribute to Longritz's brother, Medal of Honor winner John Chapman . . . The pacing heightens the tale's immediacy, and reconstruction of Chapman's inner experience packs an emotional punch. This paean to heroism will strike a chord with fans of combat narratives."-- Publishers Weekly, " Alone at Dawn is a stunning portrayal of a true American hero, from an unknown unit of unsung acclaim, and consisting of unassuming patriots. John Chapman, Medal of Honor recipient, exemplifies all the traits of the most decorated wing in the U.S. Air Force."-- Lt.Gen. Kurt A. Cichowski, USAF (Ret), former Assistant Director, CIA, "A brave book about a brave warrior and the long overdue acknowledgment of the history and the contributions made by the men of the 24th Special Tactics Squadron (aka Air Force Combat Controllers)."-- Pete Blaber, former commander Delta Force and author of The Mission, The Men, and Me, "The men who wear the Medal of Honor do so on behalf of all Americans-past, present, and future-who serve their country. I'm certain that if John Chapman had survived the events that led to his Medal, he would be uncomfortable with being singled out as a hero. But the fact is, that day he saved many lives at the cost of his own, and dozens of families owe the safe return of their loved ones to him. Every American should know this story. Thanks to Alone at Dawn , the first comprehensive account of his one man stand in Afghanistan, we have a chance to celebrate John Chapman's life and the courageous work of his fellow Air Force Combat Controllers."-- ClintonRomesha, Medal of Honor recipient and New York Times bestselling author of Red Platoon, "Asone of our nation's most elite special operations forces, Combat Controllersnot only jump, dive, shoot, and maneuver with the best, they uniquely combinethese skills with absolute mastery of three-dimensional battlespace to deliverlethal and precision airpower, making them the deadliest force on anybattlefield. Among even this exceptional and select brotherhood, John Chapman'sheroism on Takur Ghar is without equal in America's longest war."-- LtGen Donny Wurster, USAF (ret), former commander, Air Force Special OperationsCommand, " Alone at Dawn is inspired by the life and heroism of Medal of Honor recipient John Chapman. The genius of the book is that readers will also learn what a Combat Controller does, and why every team of Delta, SEALS, and Green Berets want their Air Force Special Tactics professionals with them whenever they engage in battle. The men on Takur Ghar, where seven Americans were killed in action in service to their country, were doomed by classic examples of senior military incompetence and inter-service rivalry. That terrible tragedy will never diminish the bravery of those who fought on and above the mountain in March of 2002, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice, especially MSgt John Chapman, USAF."-- James G. Roche, 20th secretary of theAir Force

I'm disappointed with this transaction. I chose this listing for the book due to its quicker estimated shipping time, but it arrived almost two weeks later than what was estimated on the listing. While I understand shipping delays can happen and can be beyond a sellers control, the seller opted for the slowest and cheapest shipping method. The main frustration however, and the reason for neutral feedback was that the item was poorly packaged, resulting in damage during shipment.
