Warnings Unheeded: Twin Tragedies at Fairchild Air Force Base

Review ------ "An amazing book. An instant classic. Staff Sergeant Brown is a true guardian who saved countless lives with supernatural marksmanship skill in a moment of great need, but he has also proven himself to be a true warrior-wordsmith who will save even more lives, as the lessons from this book are learned and applied in our current violent times. Absolutely "required reading" for law and mental professionals, but also profoundly valuable for anyone who wants to understand violence and mental illness in our society today." -Lt Col Dave Grossman (US Army, retired) Author of On Combat, On Killing, and Assassination Generation "There are specific lessons in this book that can help us to prevent lethal tragedy. Lessons for bosses, subordinates, and coworkers. Lessons for law , and for psychologists, and for human resources personnel. But there are also general lessons for all of us that can save lives, though perhaps not so dramatically nor so heroically as Andy Brown saving uncounted lives when he 'rode to the sound of the s.'" -From the Foreword written by Massad Ayoob "In vivid and thoroughly researched detail, Andy Brown masterfully weaves two tragic stories ... In parallel accounts he craftily weds the stories of the vivid dysfunction of a troubled young airman and the reckless arrogance of a senior officer and aviator. As Andy Brown clearly displays, if warnings had been heeded, the behavior of both men would not have led to disastrous ends. ... this is an important and well-written read." -Gregory K. Moft, Ph.D., Author of Blind-Sided: Homicide Where it is Least Expected and A Violent Heart "Rich in fascinating detail and page-turning narration, Warnings Unheeded delivers memorable ins into the kind of slaughter that so often fills news cycles these days, and the resilience heroes need to fight back from the emotional toll of protecting other lives." -Charles Remsberg, Author of the Street Survival book series About the Author ---------------- Andy Brown is an Air Force law veteran from Port Orchard, Washington.
