Admiral McRaven’s name has become synonymous with indelible advice for changing your life through hard work and strong character. Now, for the first time, comes an inspiring collection of speeches and poems from throughout his storied career, including tributes to law enforcement officers, doctors, soldiers, the Boy Scouts, Gold Star families, graduating students, the game of football, government officials, Navy SEALs, and “Irishmen.” Two of the poems, The Crosses and Departing Afghanistan have been previously published in The Atlantic magazine for Memorial Day.

Full of inspiration and wisdom, Duty, Honor, Country, and Life is a reminder to us all of our time-honored American values of civility and decency–and a reflection on what these values mean for the future of our country.
