Decorated US Navy SEAL lieutenant Jason Redman served his country courageously and with distinction. But his journey was not without supreme emotional and physical challenges. Redman is brutally honest about his struggles to become an effective leader, yet that effort pales beside the story of his critical wounding in 2007 while leading a mission against a key al-Qaida commander.

During the intense recovery period that followed, Redman gained national attention when he posted a sign on his door at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, warning all who entered not to “feel sorry for [his] wounds.” His sign became both a statement and a symbol for wounded warriors everywhere.

From his grueling SEAL training to his search for the balance between arrogance and humility and his growth as a leader, Redman speaks candidly of the grit that sustained him and of the extraordinary love and devotion of his wife and family. The Trident traces the evolution of a modern warrior who has come to embody the never-say-die spirit that defines the SEALs, one of America’s elite fighting forces.

Industry Reviews

"As a SEAL operator, I had the honor of serving with some of the best warriors and leaders in the United States military. Jay Redman's humble and direct account of his journey ... is remarkable. His life is the epitome of the 'Never Quit' spirit." -- Marcus Luttrell, New York Times bestselling author of Lone Survivor and Service "The Trident is a riveting, brutally honest and heartfelt story of a warrior's journey to hell and back. It's one of the best memoirs about love, combat and triumph against all odds that we've seen in a generation." -- Sean Parnell, New York Times bestselling author of Outlaw Platoon "[A] book all leaders and aspiring leaders should read; both military and civilian-not only for the heart-pounding ride-along into battle, but for the inspiring reminder that a warrior's strength and tenacity comes not from his physical stature but from his family and from within." -- Eric Blehm, New York Times bestselling author of Fearless "This story is not just about a SEAL on the Iraqi battlefield, but a SEAL at war with himself, and his ultimate victory. [Redman's] story will inspire the reader, just as it did me." -- Robert M. Gates, former Secretary of Defense, from his Introduction "Lt. Redman doesn't hide anything ... Only an intensely personal account like this can show us what he and thousands of others like him have gone though, and will continue to struggle with, for the rest of their lives." -- Larry Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Exit Plan "The Trident is a frank, compelling and inspiring chronicle of an American warrior's journey." -- Washington Times
