Leaders Lost: My Autobiographical Whistleblower Story - Paperback

by Clarence Zachary Graves (Author)

Leaders Lost is a fresh and sobering first-hand non-fiction account of one man's challenges when faced

with reprisal being forced upon him by his aviation squadron CO and further exacerbated by a negligent

Navy, government IG, congressional office, and several other Shipmates who stood by while it

happened. The scene of the story takes place over the course of about eight years and documents his

journey through the trials and tribulations of backstabbing, bureaucratic nonsense, and the twilight zone

of reasonably good people insisting upon knowing what the right thing is to do and then doing the exact

opposite. Leaders Lost represents a play on words where the Leaders that became Lost for political

reasons and not having a spine directly contributed to the decisions and conditions set into motion

which led to some incredible Leaders actually being Lost in unnecessary and preventable aircraft

MISHAPS. His vitriol towards detrimental status quo and those that support it refreshes the instincts to

once again question authority especially when it's tough. At its heart however the story shows the

importance of believing in yourself, not giving up, and trusting in those that help and support you to get

you through the hard times.
