"Fearless" Book reveiw

Fearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team Six Operator Adam Brown.


By: Eric Blehm


Ever since I saw the movie 'Navy Seals' with Charlie Sheen I have been curious about the Navy Seals and what they do.  Because they are created to be secretive in nature it's difficult to really get an idea of what these brave Americans do, we only have Hollywood to get any clue.  One of the secret units in the SEALs, one of their elite units is named SEAL Team Six, which has only recently been confirmed by our government because of the raid on Osama Bin Ladden.  Incredibly these soldiers continue to take on the most difficult job, without much recognition or reward for risking their lives.  Eric Blehm's book Fearless dives into the life of one such Navy SEAL who has given his life for our freedom.


Adam was something special from the moment he was born.  He had no quit in him, was fearless, and basically immune to pain.  Throughout his high school and college career he lived his life on the edge of crazy from jumping out of moving vehicles over bridges to standing between his friend and loaded a shot gun.  Adam demonstrated his character through adversity, going from warrior to joker in seconds, getting hurt on missions, losing his eye to training exercises and of course, his dark battle between college and the Navy with drugs.  Adam Brown was a warrior and ended up laying down his life trying to protect his friends. 


Overall this is a great story about courage, honor, and faith.  I highly recommend this book to anyone that serve or served in the military, anyone that is trying to climb out of the darkness of drugs, or anyone who likes a good story.  This book is a great reminder of those soldiers who willing give up their comfort, families and lives to protect our freedoms.  If you read it you will love it!


Five out of five stars.
