About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER, GOLD AWARD—Over 500,000 copies sold! Fearless takes you deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the heart of one of its most legendary operators.
 
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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

If you are any kind of human being, you must read this book. You pick it up and can't put it down. I started reading it at midnight last night and figured that I should join my wife in bed when my 5am alarm went off on my phone. I finally went at 5:30 and finished this evening. Thank you to all who have served our country!

Written lovingly by Eric Blehm, whose own life was impacted by the writing of Adam Brown's heroic rise from the depths of drug addiction to become a member of the elite Navy Seal Team Six. As told by Adam's God-fearing parents, loving wife and the doomed brotherhood of fellow team members whose lives were changed by Adam's unwavering faith in God, family and country. If you read only one book in your life, read this one. That's how good it is. Only the life of Jesus Christ inspired me more.

As a 25 year member of the AF flying comunity working in CSAR, I wasn't big on Navy Seal books. This particular book was reccomended to me by on of the Pilots in my previous squadron. I started reading it and could not put it down. Read It in roughly three days! It is hard to admit how hard it can be to keep God on the throne while truing to balance an incredible ops tempo and a marriage of 21 years. This book is an inspiration on many levels to say the least. I can't do it enough justice! I plan to purchase several copies for friends and fellow servicemen. I hope it will have a similar impact in their life.
