True story of the lengths the government will go to keep their secrets hidden.

A penetrating look into the controversy that enshrouds one of the most complex criminal cases in US history: a former Green Beret’s murder of his wife.

It was a dreary winter afternoon in Ayer, Massachusetts, a quintessential New England town, the type which is romanticized in Robert Frost’s poems. But on January 30, 1979, a woman’s scream was heard piercing the northeast tempest wind.

In an unassuming apartment building on Washington Street, Elaine Tyree, a mother, wife, and US Army soldier, had her life brutally ripped from her. Her husband, William Tyree, a Special Forces soldier, was convicted of this heinous murder, which he has always vehemently denied.

Some elements of this case seem to be chilling echoes of the Jeffrey MacDonald case, made famous in the book and film Fatal Vision. A military doctor and US Army Captain, MacDonald was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters but always maintained his innocence. As in the MacDonald case, the case against William Tyree raises questions as to whether the government and military suppressed evidence that could prove his innocence.

The Tyree case sent a shockwave through the idyllic community of Ayer, the United States Army, and the judicial system of Massachusetts. This case provoked suspicions of judicial misconduct, government cover-up, clandestine Black Ops by the military, and various conspiracy theories ultimately implicating “Deep State” involvement.

The events that took place that fateful day, the subsequent courtroom showdown, and the ongoing legal battles raise provocative questions that continue to revolve around this case to this day.

Craig writes about the Murder at Fort Devens in All Along the Watchtower: Murder at Fort Devens. I am a fan of true crime stories. This is the first book written by this author that I've read. The story of Elaine Tyree, a soldier at Fort Devens and how her husband hired another Green Beret, to kill her. This book was written very well. It's a good book, and it tells the story of a murdered woman. There are many different views and perspectives, and some parts were told in a transcript fashion. It didn't feel like it all came together as far as telling the story. It was an interesting read for a case that I had heard about before now. I do know there was a 1998 Documentary made based on this case. All Along the Watchtower: Murder at Fort Devens is a recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review. I look forward to reading many more titles by this author. Amy's Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who reads this book, to also write a review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good true crime, military
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022
A detailed look at such a crazy case in the death of Elaine Tyree, a soldier who was murdered in her off base apartment. A lot of research went into this story of cover ups, poor investigations, and railroading that left her husband Bill convicted. There’s a lot of explanations of military procedures, etc. I received a review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Truly awful! I could not get past about the first 10% of the book. Full of Military Acronyms and lingo. Boring and useless.
