Publisher's summary
Clint Emerson, retired Navy SEAL and author of the best-selling 100 Deadly Skills presents an explosive, darkly funny, and often twisted account of being part of an elite clandestine team of covert operatives whose mission was to keep America safe by whatever means necessary. Just be happy he’s on our side.
Clint Emerson is the only SEAL ever inducted into the International Spy Museum. Operating from the shadows, with an instinct for running towards trouble, his unique skill set made him the perfect hybrid of elite and modern day counterintelligence agent.
Emerson spent his career on the bleeding edge of intelligence and operations, often specializing in solo missions that took advantage of subterfuge, improvisation, the best in recon and surveillance tech, and even elements of Hollywood disguise to combat the changing global battlefield. MacGyvering everyday objects into working spyware was routine, and fellow SEALs referred to his top-secret activities simply as “special shit.” His parameters were: find, fix, and finish - and of course, leave no trace.
While Emerson was a real life Jason Bourne as well as a decorated soldier, he operated by only two codes: “if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying” and “it’s only illegal if you get caught.” The Right Kind of Crazy is unlike any military memoir you’ve ever read because Emerson is upfront about the fact that what makes you a great soldier and sometimes hero doesn’t always make you the best guy - but it does make for damn good stories.

This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history.

On September 11, 2018, Navy SEAL Chief Edward Gallagher - a highly-decorated combat veteran with nine deployments to war zones in Africa, Afghanistan, and Iraq - was arrested for war crimes at the TBI medical clinic where he was receiving treatment. His incarceration was the culmination of a year-long whisper campaign started by a group of disgruntled members of his SEAL platoon. While heavily covered in the media, the full story of how a war hero was railroaded and nearly sent to prison for life for crimes he didn't commit has never been told.

The Taliban and their allies were infiltrating everywhere, poised to reclaim Kandahar Province, their strategically vital onetime capital. To stop them, the NATO coalition launched Operation Medusa, the largest offensive in its history. The battlefield was the Panjwayi Valley, a densely packed warren of walled compounds that doubled neatly as enemy bunkers.

Wonderful and honest
I’m tired of all the Hooyah Seal books and it’s guys like Clint that are changing the tides (pun intended)
The way Clint tells his story despite all the BS redactions is amazing. I actually bought the audio book to make sense of some of the page after page of blacked pages.
If Unit guys can write a book and it has 5 black outs I honestly think they just hate Clint. -kidding.
The book is great, the stories are great, and it’s 100% worth the time. Clint is a great guy, I worked at Motor Sport Ranch when he did his J turn video and he is just hilarious.

Great story
The story was excellent, I would buy one of his audiobooks again. Not the best narrator but hey you can't be good at everything.

The right kind of book!!!! Clint Bullseye!
Clint pulls no punches. He makes you feel like you are one of his dive buddies. Straight SEAL talk in all its glory.

Humor and Inspiration
As a kid that got into some shit when I was young it’s always inspiring to see another black sheep excel. Great book minus the bs pentagon redactions. Lots of humor and information! Had tears from laughing many times.
