One of the better books available on Combat Controllers

A lot of great insight into CCTs that's difficult to find elsewhere. Can occasionally be so reverent of CCTs that it's a little distracting (the book was co-authored by a relative of a Medal of Honor recipient CCT), but the contributions of partner SOF organizations are also noted extensively. The storytelling of Chapman's last stand is well constructed and absolutely worth the time for anyone with interest in the special operations community.
