"But when they were clearing uh Bob's house out after the fact, um and you know, putting stuff away and everything like that, they found a copy of his book. And in the book, he had written a note that he wanted it to go to another uh another SEAL that uh was a close friend of his and it said, "You have to read this.""
Milligan recounts attempting to interview Vietnam-era SEAL Bob Gallagher during research for his book, saying Gallagher initially refused to speak with him. He says a friend later dropped off a galley copy at Gallagher’s home, and that after Gallagher’s death a copy was found with a handwritten note directing it to another SEAL and urging him to read it.
