The Heart and the Fist

Greitens, a Rhodes scholar and Navy Seal, tells the story of his journey  to protect the weak from the atrocities of war.  After spending time with refugees and street children in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Bolivia, Greitens comes to the conclusion that humanitarian aid will never prevent genocide and other barbarous acts, and is himself willing to put word into deed and defend the powerless. This is a compelling portrait of a compassionate warrior and an interesting reflection on contemporary masculinity.  My only complaint is that Greitens reads his own work in the audiobook and he has a tendency to let his voice trail off at the end of sentences, making it hard to understand.
