Military justice bookshelf

Dave Philipps (left) of The New York Times has written a book about the case of (retired) Navy SEAL Edward R. Gallagher, titled Alpha: Eddie Gallagher and the War for the Soul of the Navy SEALS. Seth Combs reviews it here for The San Diego Union-Tribune. Excerpt:

“It wasn’t that long ago where if you asked someone what they thought of the SEALs, I think unequivocally they would have thought it was a very positive organization,” Philipps says. “Real professionals. And now I think that’s a lot less clear. I think that Eddie Gallagher is now one of the few SEALs people can name, and even if they have strong opinions either way, both of them are pretty problematic for the organization.”
