The extraordinary story of American special operator and
trailblazer Shannon Kent, who was killed at the age of 35 by a
suicide bomber while hunting high value targets on a
classified mission in Syria in 2019. Of the 1.3 million
active-duty service members in the U.S. military, only a tiny
fraction are selected as “operators” in elite special mission
units. Shannon Kent was one of the first women to serve at this
level and was widely recognized as one of the best. Shannon served
as a Cryptologic Warfare Technician, responsible for signals
intelligence and electronic warfare, but her proficiency with
language set her apart. She was assigned to the Joint Special
Operations Command, where she worked clandestinely to hunt the most
wanted terrorists in the world. Send Me is Shannon’s heroic life
story, revealing the truth of both her work and her death.
Shannon’s team wasn’t on a routine patrol the day she died, nor
out for lunch as many news outlets reported. She was hunting ISIS
cells. Joe, a retired Special Forces soldier, recalls how he
and Shannon met in a war zone, their love forged during an elite
special operations training course, their dedication spanning
multiple combat deployments and the birth of their two boys. It is
the legacy of an extraordinary woman who rose to the apex of
the military, working with the most elite forces in the world,
lifting the veil from the life of a Special Forces family to share
their duty, sacrifice, and humanity.
This book was written after one of us published two editions of a
smaller book (Atomic Structure and Valency by R. D. Brown, 1961 and
1966) and from the experiences of all three of us teaching a
first-year university course in valency at Monash University. Our
object has been to give enough of an historical introduction to
quantum mechanics to enable a student to grasp the fundamental
ideas without being subjected to much mathematical formalism. We
have also tried to avoid making erroneous statements in the
interest of simplicity (e. g" the widespread tendency to ignore the
difference between 2Pl, 2po, 2p-l and 2px, 2py, 2p z) because these
lead to irritation and confusion of the better students, when they
proceed to further studies of chemical quantum mechanics. The
topics we have chosen to expand upon-i. e., energy levels of
electrons in atoms, energetic considerations of bonding in diatomic
molecules, and packing of ions in the simplest solid state
structures we believe form a good basis for students to progress to
more complicated systems in a qualitative way. Both space and the
intended level ofthe book have necessitated that the experimental
section on spectroscopic and diffrac tion methods be very
introductory. Again we believe that it is essential for a student
to have some acquaintance with this, if the whole subject is to
have a firm basis."
