In
a fast-paced and action-packed narrative, Navy SEAL commander
Rorke
Denver tackles the questions that have emerged about America’s past
decade at war—from what makes a hero to why we fight and what
it does to
us.
Heroes are not always the guys who jump on
grenades.
Sometimes, they are the snipers who decide to hold their fire,
the wounded operators who find fresh ways to contribute, or the wives
who keep the families together back home.
Even a SEAL
commander—especially a SEAL commander—knows that.
But what’s a hero,
really?
What do we have a right to expect from our heroes?
How should we
hold them accountable?
Amid all the loose talk of heroes, these
questions are seldom asked.
As a SEAL commander, Rorke Denver is
uniquely qualified to answer questions about what makes a hero or a
leader, why men kill, how best to serve your country, how battlefield
experiences can elevate us, and most important, why we fight and what it
does for and to us.
And in Worth Dying For, Denver shares his personal experiences from the forefront of war today.
Denver
applies some of his SEAL sense to nine big-picture, news-driven
questions of war and peace, in a way that appeals to all sides of the
public conversation.
By broadening the issues, sharing his insights, and
achieving what civilian political leaders have been utterly unable to,
Denver eloquently shares answers to America’s most burning questions
about war, heroism, and what it all means for America’s future.
