The autobiography "The Heart and the Fist" by Eric Greitens explores the vital balance between courage and compassion. It begins with his decision to honor his fallen Marine friend, Travis Manion, and then traces Greitens’s journey from college to global humanitarian work, including experiences in China, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Bolivia. After becoming a Navy SEAL and serving in combat, Greitens reflects on the importance of winning hearts as well as battles. Inspired by wounded veterans, he founded The Mission Continues to help veterans serve communities worldwide. The book emphasizes that true strength combines fighting ability with compassion, and critiques U.S. foreign policy for often overlooking humanitarian needs.
