The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy Seal"Meet my hero Eric Greitens.

"Meet my hero--Eric Greitens. His life and this book remind us that America remains the land of the brave and generous." -- Tom Brokaw

Like many young idealists, Eric Greitens wanted to make a difference, so he traveled to the world's trouble spots to work in refugee camps and serve the sick and the poor. Yet when innocent civilians were threatened with harm, there was nothing he could do but step in afterward and try to ease the suffering. In studying humanitarianism, he realized a fundamental truth: when an army invades, the weak need protection. So he joined the Navy SEALs and became one of the world's elite warriors.

Greitens led his men through the unforgettable soul-testing of SEAL training and went on to deployments in Kenya, Afghanistan, and Iraq, where he faced harrowing encounters and brutal attacks. Yet even in the deadliest combat situations, the lessons of his humanitarian work bore fruit. At the heart of this powerful story lies a paradox: sometimes you have to be strong to do good, but you also have to do good to be strong. The heart and the fist together are more powerful than either one alone.

"If you're restless or itching for some calling you can't name, read this book. Give it to your son and daughter. The Heart and the Fist epitomizes -- as does Mr. Greitens's life, present and future -- all that is best in this country, and what we need desperately right now." -- Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire

"Vivid and compelling . . . a great read." -- Washington Times

Wallet This Wallet That
Color: Light Brown
I bought this wallet to replace my old wallet that was falling apart, and probably 10 years old and so I was due for one! This one looks great and is very functional with many compartments for credit cards and a special compartment for the my ID, and it also provides a protection thing that keeps people from stealing my credit card information and also has room for pictures and there are two large compartments for cash and other miscellaneous paper items. I love the light brown, real soft leather look of it and so far it is really durable and I love it. It was a good buy and priced really well!

Genuine leather wallet
Color: Brown
I like the wallet very much. It has plenty of room for my credit cards, ID cards and other items. Also plenty room for cash money. It’s well made and I expect it will last several years before needing replacement.

Nice, spacious leather wallet
Color: Dark Coffee Brown
Nice quality leather wallet, lots of places to put IDs and credit cards. I'll take it that it is RFID blocking, no way of testing that!! If you like to keep photos and other IDs in the clear plastic windows, you'll need to buy those separately. Still, this is a nice wallet, good quality, holds my "stuff" -- I'm happy!
