Silent Knights Blowing the Whistle on Military Accidents Hardcover - 2002

by Alan E. Diehl


From the publisher

Since 1980, more than 15,000 members of the US armed forces have died in on-duty mishaps - compared with fewer than 1000 killed by enemy action. But when such accidents occur, the military imposes a rigid code of silence. Commanders task subordinates, who are often unfamiliar with accident investigation procedures, to investigate these tragedies behind closed doors. This dysfunctional process almost guarantees that the mishap victims themselves are found to be at fault. Overlooked, and therefore uncorrected, problems soon lead to additional tragedies.

First line

First Lieutenant Laura Piper watches the rugged Iraqi terrain glide by a hundred feet below as the wind whips through her chopper's crowded passenger compartment.
