“This is an amazing story of heroism and patriotism! Adam Brown was a true hero who will never be forgotten. His bravery and selfless dedication to his country are an inspiration to us all.”
“This book is non-fiction, but it reads like a novel. I could not put it down! The author does an excellent job of describing the training and experiences that molded Adam Brown into the fearless warrior he was. But even more importantly, Eric Blehm sheds light on the emotional and spiritual side of war – something rarely seen in books about combat.”
“I am not a person who typically cries while reading books, but I cried through the entire first chapter of Fearless. This book is so beautifully written and incredibly powerful that it compelled me to keep reading even though I was feeling emotional.”
