Then there were the scandals and morale problems. Vistica takes us
behind the scenes of the Tailhook scandal, the Admiral Boorda suicide, the
"Ill Wind" procurement scandal, the John Walker spy case (Walker gave the
Soviets access to the Navy's secret communications for more than 17 years),
the Iowa battleship explosion and cover-up, and the cruiser Vincennes, which
shot down of an Iranian airliner and received combat action ribbons for
killing all 290 civilians aboard. You won't find many heros in these pages;
this is Reality Check time. It's unfortunate that it takes about two dozen
investigative books from excellent journalists to balance out just one fake
Tom Clancy thriller. Blame it on Hollywood culture and Pentagon corruption.
