New Release

by Gary Williams

Heart of A Lion is about leadership demonstrated under fire in the forbidding mountains of Afghanistan, the leadership of a Navy SEAL awarded the Medal of Honor. Designed as a companion book to SEAL of Honor, Heart of A Lion is a must read for those who marvel at the actions, motivation, and character of our most elite military force.

On June 28, 2005 LT Michael P. Murphy faced two profound moral leadership questions; the first, following the capture of three civilian non-combatants. The second, to deliberately put himself in the enemy’s direct line of fire in a final effort to get help for his men. How Michael P. Murphy chose to answer those two questions will forever separate him from those he fought.

Over the course of his short life, Michael Patrick Murphy came to personify three critically important pillars of leadership. Before you can lead, you must:

Positively influence others.
Develop an unshakable moral character.
Always act with integrity consistent with that character - an integrity and character that transcends position-only leadership and provides the all-important moral authority to lead.

Dr.Donald C Winters (74th United States Secretary of the Navy)

"Those who have had the privilege of working with the Navy SEALs invariably ask the question, 'where do we get such incredible Americans?' SEAL of Honor helps to answer that question in a most poignant way by focusing on LT. Michael Murphy, his family on Long Island, NY, and the Navy SEALs; documenting the way each impacted the others. From this, we get insight not only into how Michael developed his strong sense of moral clarity, duty and honor, but also into the legacy he, his teammates and the entire Special Operations community left for our Nation."

Brigadier General Anthony J. Tata (USA, Ret)

"SEAL of Honor is a compelling read chock full of lessons learned for military and civilian alike. It is a tearjerker from the very beginning and Gary Williams does an excellent job of capturing the duality of our everyday peaceful lives here in the United States and the exceptional heroism and harrowing tragedies that occur overseas...SEAL of Honor is more than an account of a military action… it is an examination of one man's life, his maturation, his service, his combat experience, and the actions that led to Michael Murphy being awarded the Medal of Honor. SEAL of Honor should be on every leader's short list of must read books."
