Cost Deferred (Authority and Consequences) Publisher's Summary

The mission ends. The cost does not.In Authority Without Control, Brandon Burton wrote about leadership, violence, restraint, and the burden of command. Cost Deferred turns toward what came afterwardthe memories that stayed, the people who did not, and the consequences that waited quietly for years before demanding payment.Moving between Afghanistan, the National Guard, family, friendship, grief, failure, faith, and survival, Burton examines the strange distance between the person who endured the moment and the person eventually forced to understand it.These are stories of soldiers and fathers, instructors and students, funerals and barrooms, humor and heartbreak. They are about the lies men tell themselves to keep movingand the grace that sometimes finds them when movement is no longer enough.Raw, reflective, and unsentimental, Cost Deferred is a companion to Authority Without Control and a memoir about what service takes, what memory preserves, and what it means to finally reckon with the bill.
