Commitment to Courage: The Life and Extraordinary Career of a Veteran FBI Agent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947521056)

Sometimes the Safe Path isn't the Right One.

As a young man, Don Redden didn't have big plans for his future beyond raising a family, a good career at General Electric, and making it through the Vietnam War alive. His plan was simple, honest, and safe. When Don's tour of duty in the Army was over and he got home alive, it looked like he was on track to achieve everything he had set out to do.

A chance encounter with an FBI agent led him to make a momentous decision and abandon the safe path he had set for himself. He would apply to join the FBI. This began the adventure of a lifetime. From bank robberies to kidnappings to murder, Don did what he had to, sometimes against protocol and sometimes against instinct, to protect those he could and bring justice for those he couldn't.

"Don is a humble guy who lived the adventure of being an FBI agent, and loved every minute of it. His commitment to courage and duty led him to make sacrifices, some big and some small, but he did so with his eyes open and always for the good of those people he could help and for the difference he could make every day."
--Charlie Shor, from the Foreword
