This amazing book about becoming a Navy Seal is one of my favorites. If you are like I am SEAL Team Six Warrior: Memoirs of an American Soldier by Howard E. Wasdin this is the book for you.
A Kirkus Best Teen Book of 2012
"An uncommon (to say the least) coming of age, retraced with well-deserved pride but not self-aggrandizement, and as thought provoking as it is entertaining."--Kirkus, starred review "Adapted from the adult title The Heart and the Fist (Houghton, 2011), this volume has been rearranged, shortened, and streamlined in way sure to appeal to its new audience."--School Library Journal
“Greitens describes his adventurous life in a manner that many teen boys will find inspirational."-- VOYA
