About this item

Written by a 26-year veteran of the United States Navy, member of SEAL Teams and star of the hit movie Act of Valor, Derrick Van Orden shares his experiences from around the world to both educate and entertain. Stories of fist fighting, fishing, and driving fast cars are all interwoven with the principles of what used to be known as basic manhood, but has now become a lost art. "Derrick's book gives man a knowledge of survival in life's lessons. There is something to learn for everyone. It is a graduation going beyond the book for Boy Souts. Everyone will find it very exciting." - Actor Jon Voight ("Ray Donovan") Teaching you how to light a campfire, mix a drink, and handle a terrorist, ALL IN THE SAME DAY!
