Vicksburg, MS (January 25, 2010) When eight-year-old Tommys lifeless body sinks to the pitch-dark bottom of his watery grave, an amazing paradox is set in motion. A human drama then unfolds as author Tom Bracken shares a series of true, life-ing, life-gripping, life-risking, and life-saving episodes in Tommy The Saving of a US Navy SEAL.
In this candid autobiography, readers are taken through the first two decades of the authors life. Written in first person narrative, the action follows Tommy into the furious tornado of the turbulent 1960s as it s him into an uncontrollable maelstrom of violence and chaos, where his response is to push the pedal of life to the floor and drive it wide open. The story also unveils the rigors of the famous Navy SEALs BUD/S training and on into the heat of combat in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam.
Short flashbacks of his earlier years are strategically ed to help develop the story and let readers know more about what makes him tick. Some are heartbreakinghis fathers murder, and his older brothers suicide, his arrest at age fifteen and some will make the reader laugh out loud. By all accounts, the book is packed full of valuable life lessons for everyone to learn from.
