Annotation:
Telling the extraordinary exploits of its author's career as a Navy SEAL, Rhodes Scholar, and humanitarian aid worker, THE HEART AND THE FIST offers lessons on how battles can be defined as broadly and as narrowly as any individual's will allows. Eric Greitens's journey through international slums and regions riven by the War on Terror shows him that his visions of providing goodwill and protecting the needy carry simultaneous burdens of compassion and resolve. His example demonstrates that neither hardened soldiers nor bleeding-heart activists must limit their lives to a single dimension.
