Summary
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.

Respect the Brotherhood.
One of the Best Books i have ever read based on the Navy Seals. Jason Redman is a truly remarkable man as are all who wear the Trident. Well written and very moving at times. A True book about the lessons in life and the gratitude we should show to all who serve. Highly Recommended....

Fascinating Insight
What made the experience of listening to Trident the most enjoyable?
The story is delivered in a strong voice, with good intonation. The story is fascinating and enthralling.
What other book might you compare Trident to, and why?
The book can be compared to most stories about Special Forces - their recruitment, training and duties. However, the author tells how he was initially headstrong and foolhardy, in that he ignored advice and went his own way. In the fullness of time, and as his experiences increased, he became a strong officer and successful leader. Finally, the author sustained terrible injuries and was able to utilize his training and expertise to get over major physical injuries and mental challenges. This story is a lesson for everyone who ever was challenged by whatever life throws...and that's all of us.
What does Erik Bergmann bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Strong voice, good intonation, keeps the interest up.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Not just another war book...
Any additional comments?
I love this book and admire the author.

Fascinating insight into the struggles of a Navy SEAL officer.
While every book I listen to regarding the US NAVY SEALs is as heavy hitting as the last, this particular one goes deeper. Not just the gung-ho macho BUDS & firefight type at all. Jason has opened up fully about his trials and tribulations along the way to becoming a well rounded, competent and well respected officer. Never shying away from his mistakes, showing key learning points where he has grown and become better for. If anything, personally, I think there was a little too much focusing on his mistakes.
A great audiobook, of the genre I solely listen to - comes highly rated, I would definitely recommend. Thank you for your service Jason.

Totally mesmerising read
The story of Reds life, successes and personal challenges within the special forces is a fantastic engaging read. His own story of injury and near death experience, struggle, family and ultimately his focus and drive to recovery is quite an emotional read.......in short a MUST read.

Amazing book just awesome
The best navy seals and leadership book I've read, and although I loved extreme ownership by jocko and leif, the trident got 1st place imho, outstanding; jay should have a podcast as well on thriving through adversity and leadership, we need less bs and more reality. I keep replaying the last minute of the book.
