Description
Alone at Dawn is the true story of John Chapman, a Medal of Honor recipient and Special Ops Combat Controller who made the ultimate sacrifice to save his comrades-in-arms during the Afghan War.
On March 4, 2002, Chapman led a desperate bid to find a lost teammate in a fierce battle just below a mountain peak in eastern Afghanistan. Despite being outnumbered and gravely wounded, he single-handedly engaged two dozen hardened fighters to save the lives of an incoming rescue squad.
This book tells the story of Chapman's extraordinary bravery and the brotherhood of the Air Force Combat Controllers, the world's deadliest and most versatile special operations force. Drawing from firsthand accounts, classified documents, and extensive interviews, Alone at Dawn is a gripping account of an extraordinary man's last stand.
