Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time, this, the official report of the wildest ranging scandal in the history of the U.S. Navy, details in-depth the abuses that occurred. The Tailhook Report finally reveals the truth behind the rumors, the headlines, and the scandal.
In September 1991, over 4,000 U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviation officers met in Las Vegas for the 35th Annual Tailhook Symposium, a long-standing professional convention of naval aviators. Over the weekend, the parties and drunken behavior raged out of control and resulted in widespread damage to the hotel, 90 identified victims of indecent assault, 140 officers referred for possible court-martial or disciplinary action, and the demotion, transfer, or resignation of several top Navy officials.
