About this listen

From Special Forces veteran and internationally respected teacher of Rōnin Tactics to streaming and videogame fan favorite, Tu Lam’s memoir will captivate, astonish, exhilarate, and even profoundly resonate.

Tu Lam has become known not just for his accomplishments as a decorated Green Beret, but also for his work outside the military, including:

  • Training citizens and law enforcement professionals all over the country
  • Providing aid to both active and retired soldiers with physical and mental health issues
  • Co-hosting the History Channel’s Forged in Fire: Knife or Death
  • Appearing in and contributing to the world’s bestselling video game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

In The Way of Rōnin, he reveals his against-all-odds story. Tu Lam’s resilience, dedication, and relentless pursuit of freedom saw him achieving Full Spectrum US Special Operations across twenty-seven countries worldwide for more than twenty years, only to pay the price of his own physical and mental trauma as well as addiction.

That decision led him to more than two decades of grueling instruction in every facet of the special forces, then deployment to war and conflict zones—all while channeling his inner anger in secret underground no-holds-barred fighting matches. When he finally retired from the military after more than two decades, his demons caught up with him, leading to years of addiction. But even that didn’t defeat him. Confronting his demons, he emerged triumphant. Now he shares the gripping details and riveting intricacies of this awe-inspiring journey.

Tu Lam’s life is, at times, all too real, and at many others times, almost unbelievable. For fans of Jocko Willink and David Goggins, The Way of Rōnin is an ultimately triumphant tale of what one man can accomplish against seemingly insurmountable odds.

The never quit mindset.

I’ve been following Tu since the first Shawn Ryan podcast. The whole story is truly inspiring. He never gave up, despite the odds.

Healing and inspirational

Tu Lam wrote an excellent book telling of his struggles and adventures from a child into his adult years. It’s a book about self discovery, brotherhood, combat, and healing. A few times during my listening I had to stop and take a moment because what he wrote was relatable to me; it was powerful and moving. Thank you Tu Lam. Terrific book. Bravo.

inspires my own healing

I've followed the RoninTactics Instagram account for a few years and am deeply humbled by the journey he shares with us in this book. The healing he goes through is something I've decided to actively prioritize in myself because of reading about it in this book.

True example of Warrior Ethos.

Absolutely outstanding warrior life story (with much more to come). Your example of determination, courage, and honor in the face of challenges and tyranny, truly demonstrates the very best of what is good about Nation's Warrior Class. Thank you Brother for leading the way in all you do...DOL/RLTW! - Ray
