Book Overview

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 .

Incredible

This book was incredible. Adam Brown is a true American hero. This book made me laugh and cry.

Wow-Amazing story!!!

I have read a ton of navy seal books but this one is the best thus far. It’s not a heavy, technical navy seal book that gets into the weeds of operations and tactics but a story of a man that became a navy seal. Highly recommend.

This is a great book about the life of an American hero. Everyone should read it.

What an extraordinary young man. This is a well written book about a hero. It's an inspirational true story of a young man who fought and overcame his demons to become a hero to his family and America. Thank you Adam Brown, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for your service to our country and your ultimate sacrifice. Your spirit and love will live on through your wife, children, family and friends. May God bless your soul.

If you think you can’t make it - read this!

This is a story about Adam who had great parents but a challenging childhood. He had faith in God but turned into a full blown crack addict. He was headed for jail or death by overdose but ended up a Navy Seal. Not just any Navy Seal but a warrior who had to encounter unbelievable obstacles and overcame. Not just overcame but exceeded expectations. And then laid down his life in battle. I am very grateful Adam for your life, your story, your inspiration and your sacrifice.
