520 "The astonishing 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."--Provided by publisher.
