In one of America’s darkest moments, Navy Captain Brett Crozier made a bold choice: to speak up for his crew amid a deadly outbreak onboard the U.S. Navy’s most powerful aircraft carrier. Though it cost him his command, his sailors sent him off with salutes and chants of gratitude.

Now, in this inspiring memoir, Crozier reflects on a career of leadership, integrity, and resilience—from flying fighter jets to capturing pirate ships, and even catching waves around the world. He shares powerful life lessons on teamwork, courage, and doing what’s right—even when it’s not easy.
