Warnings Unheeded: Twin Tragedies at Fairchild Air Force Base by Andy Brown
5.0
Andy Brown was serving in the Air Force as a law enforcement specialist when, in 1994, he responded to an active-shooter incident in progress at the base hospital where he was stationed. Four days later a B-52 bomber crashed during an air-show practice flight. Both tragedies had been predicted and warned about.
Brown's book, Warnings Unheeded, is part of his ongoing effort to share the lessons learned from the Fairchild Air Force Base tragedies and his experience with the effects of trauma. He struggled with guilt and other mental health issues as a result of the shooting. His own experience with trauma is another powerful story in the book.
Brown draws from investigation reports and witness statements from the Air Force. He also had copies of the gunman’s medical records, journal entries, and other documents and personally interviewed many of the people involved. The result is a compelling account of double tragedies that could have been avoided.
Warnings Unheeded would be a hit with true-crime fans, veterans, and readers with an interest in psychology, history, law enforcement, military, or aviation.
