Not a Reprint

Not just a compilation of the two 'Eye of the Storm' volumes, this historical record contains new content, images, graphics, and addendums.  From a Special Operators perspective of the entire Afghanistan War, this volume shares fascinating, insights into the heroic actions of John Chapman, the posthumous award of the Medal of Honor, and it introduces historical events and topics torn from the frontpage headlines of today's history.

The Forecast

In July 2021,  AuthorHouse accepted from the CCSHF, the manuscript for 'U.S. Air Force Special Tactics, Combat Control Team History', a hard cover publication.

The publishing process has been launched, with a production and release forecast, for the 2nd Quarter, of 2022.  

The Book

At an estimated ten-pounds, this 12" x 12" hard cover book format, will have approximately eight hundred pages, featuring more than 1,000 inserts, hundreds of color photographs, graphics, charts, with new and previously un-released historical references.

This is an historical account of U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Combat Controllers at the tip-of-the-spear in the War on Terror, and in humanitarian relief actions around the globe.

This is is not just a re-print of 'The Eye of the Storm' series.

The 'U.S. Air Force Special Tactics Combat Control Team History' publication is a keepsake historical record for Combat Controllers, their immediate and extended families, for the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Community and for all Special Operations, and Special Tactics Forces.
