Why people recommend it
Alpha by David Philipps is a detailed and critical examination of the Navy SEALs, focusing particularly on the case of alleged war criminal Eddie Gallagher. The book received strong recommendations on Behind the Bastards and Breaking Points. Robert Evans recommended and quoted the book on Behind the Bastards, using it to describe the informal blue-collar solidarity of the original Frogmen formed in the New Deal 1940s, to detail Eddie Gallagher's early life and recruitment after walking into a Fort Wayne recruiting station in 1999, and to outline the internal factions among the approximately one thousand SEALs deployed during the height of the Vietnam War. An anonymous speaker on Breaking Points also recommended the book during a discussion on Pentagon purges and the Gallagher case, noting that the text is explicitly critical of Gallagher. Across these discussions, the book served as a vital reference point for understanding the complex history, cultural evolution, and controversies surrounding elite military units over several decades.
