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 … 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.

Heroic. Inspirational. I can’t tell you how happy I am to have read this book. Adam Brown’s story is worth every minute you spend with it.
Because this is the story of a Navy Seal, please don’t just discard it as another military genre book. It has everything a story needs to make it unforgettable-strong characters(in real life), a plot with twists and turns, romance, family interaction, morals, action, and tragedy. The main character, Adam Brown, was born fearless which allowed him to accomplish things most would never dream of. It’s also an entertaining and inspiring story. If every young boy and girl in the United States would read this, it would change our country. In fact, I have bought several copies to give as gifts.
A friend asked me to read this book. It’s way out of my normal reading, but she spoke so highly of it I had to read it. You will find this book inspiring from cover to cover. Well written, but even better is the excellent storytelling that draws you into Adam Brown’s life and keeps you there. Amazing story of love, courage, and faith.
A life changing book that I would recommend to anyone with addiction issues.
Incredible resolve by an ordinary yet determined young man to overcome his own weaknesses and failures. Very well told and encouraging to follow your dreams.
This book was amazing. Thanks to the author, family and friends of Adam Brown for sharing this warrior’s story. Inspirational.
Story of an amazing young man, true patriot, man of integrity, a real hero and a loss to us all.
Highly recommend. One of the best books I have ever read. It is one you will want to recommend to others.
This was a great book. It gave me a look at the thing our servicemen and women go through just to be able to serve our country and what they go through serving our country. I admit that I laughed and cried at times. It left me with a sadness that we don’t honor these men like we should. We hear about celebrities and sports stars all the time but these warriors that give their all for us and our freedoms are often just a clip in the news. I recommend this book to everyone and certainly suggest you take time to read it.
This was a great book. Very inspirational and a testament of overcoming circumstances and pushing forward to be all you can be! One of the best books I’ve read in a while. He finished well!!
I stumbled across this book on my library digital rental section. I loaded it to my kindle and started reading it. I was totally glued to it and couldn’t put it down. This book is simply the best and most inspirational thing I’ve ever read. I regularly recommend it to friends. Many of them report they were moved to tears. Including a male friend who read it during his busy commute into London!! To this day if I am struggling with my disability (Tetraplegic) I think what would Adam Brown do in this situation. I can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to read it. I think secondary schools should make pupils read it it’s that powerful.
Amazing Inspirational look at what man is capable of with faith.
What would you do if something had such a hold on you that the only thing that you could do to divert your hunger for it would be to focus so intently on a career, on a duty, that that could satisfy the craving. Knowing that in order to succeed you would need the support of people you hurt, people that would give you one last chance, people that would love you unconditionally.
Such was the life of this true hero of U. S. Navy SEALS team Six, Adam Brown.
Once so addicted to crack, the only thing he could think about was how to get his next fix, Adam finally over came such impossible odds to not only complete Navy SEAL training, but went on to make it to the top tier of this elite section of our military.
Adam, his wife, parents, fellow team members and friends are largely an example of what sacrifice and love really mean.
If you want to read an unwashed account of what dedication and sacrifice mean, read this absolutely true account of this amazing man!
