“Fearless”
Fearless
takes you deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the heart of one of its most
legendary operators.
“Fearless” is the must read story of redemption and
tragedy told through the prism of bestselling author Eric Blehm. Although he is
careful to blot out some specifics so as not to unnecessarily put members of
SEAL Team SIX in harm’s way, Blehm does a masterful job of telling us the story
of their fallen comrade Adam Brown. “Fearless” comes along at a time in our
history when we are want ant for heroes that do the right thing regardless of
the consequences. Adam Brown was such a hero that made the ultimate sacrifice
in the service of his country. We hope that you enjoy reading Amazon’s
excellent review of “Fearless” below and will be inspired to read the book in
its entirety.
When Navy
SEAL Adam Brown woke up on March 17, 2010, he didn’t know he would die that
night in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan—but he was ready: In a letter
to his children, not meant to be seen unless the worst happened, he wrote, “I’m
not afraid of anything that might happen to me on this earth, because I know no
matter what, nothing can take my spirit from me.”
Long before Adam Brown became a member of the elite
SEAL Team SIX—the counterterrorism unit that took down Osama bin Laden—he was a
fun-loving country boy from Hot Springs, Arkansas, whose greatest goal had been
to wear his high school’s football jersey. An undersized daredevil, prone to
jumping off roofs into trees and off bridges into lakes, Adam was a kid who
broke his own bones but would never break a promise to his parents.
But after high school, Adam fell in with the wrong
crowd and his family watched as his appetite for risk dragged him into a
downward spiral that eventually landed him in jail. Battling his inner demons
on a last-chance road to redemption, Adam had one goal: to become the best of
the best—a US Navy SEAL.
An absorbing chronicle of heroism and humanity,
Fearless presents an indelible portrait of a highly trained warrior who would
enter a village with weapons in hand to hunt terrorists, only to come back the
next day with an armload of shoes and meals for local children. It is a deeply
personal, revealing glimpse inside the SEAL Team SIX brotherhood that also shows
how these elite operators live out the rest of their lives, away from danger,
as husbands, fathers and friends.
Fearless is the story of a man of extremes, whose
courage and determination was fueled by faith, family, and the love of a woman.
It’s about a man who waged a war against his own worst impulses and persevered
to reach the top tier of the US military. Always the first to volunteer for the
most dangerous assignments, Adam’s final act of bravery led to the ultimate
sacrifice.
Adam Brown was a devoted man who was an unlikely
hero but a true warrior, described by all who knew him as fearless.
