Synopsis

Decorated Navy SEAL Lieutenant Jason Redman served his country courageously and with distinction in Columbia, Peru, Afghanistan and Iraq, where he commanded mobility and assault forces. But his journey was not without its supreme challenges. He was critically wounded in 2007 when he was struck by machine-gun fire at point blank range. During his intense recovery period Redman posted a sign on his door, warning all who entered not to ""feel sorry for [his] wounds."" His sign became both a statement and a symbol for wounded warriors everywhere. Vivid and powerful, emotionally resonant and illuminating, The Trident traces the evolution of a modern warrior, husband, and father, a man who has come to embody the never-say-die spirit that defines one of America's elite fighting forces.

This was a good book for an military outsider to read. As a military insider, I found that Jason Redman did not drill down too deep into the details of the particulars of his training and education as a Navy SEAL, but he presented enough detail that you were not wondering what he left out in his boo......more

Goodreads review by Shaun on February 25, 2014

This book was awesome and really hit home with me. It's not your typical Navy SEAL, train hard, learn a bunch of stuff, then do amazing things for our country. It's truly one man's journey to becoming a true leader and the amazing and hard lessons he learned along the way. He initially wants to beco......more

Goodreads review by Bob on August 07, 2018

Why This Book: I had heard several years ago that this was a well-done personal story by a SEAL – which included a lot of humility – not often found in books SEALs write about themselves. I lead a volunteer reading group for young men in the SEAL Basic Training Command’s Pre Training, Recovery and R......more

Goodreads review by Wayland on September 19, 2021

I've read a lot of history, biography, and memoirs. Some of them are boring, or seem like they're trying too hard to make their subject sound like an amazing person. This was different in a few ways. A SEAL warrior tells his own story, but he's not some perfect machine. He makes mistakes, screws up......more
