About the Book

Expanded Edition with Photos In Radical Courage, retired Marine Staff Sergeant Eric Alva shares his powerful story of coming out as a gay man in the armed forces, as well as his ardent advocacy for diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Review :
"Eric's story of survival, courage, and determination is a personal tale of how change is created in this country. Eric is a powerful example of service, sacrifice, and authentic patriotism at a time when such qualities grow increasingly rare. I highly recommend his story." --JIM OBERGEFELL, Obergefell v. Hodges, and co-author of Love Wins "Staff Sergeant Eric Alva is an American hero. He embodies honor, courage and commitment that define a Marine. His story of valor and sacrifice laid bare the stupidity of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Our nation owes an enduring debt of gratitude to him. --C. DIXON OSBURN, Executive Director, Institute for Strategic Dialogue US and author of Mission Possible: The Story of Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" "In my experience people just want someone to tell their story to that they know will understand. Eric is a great listener and very kind. Eric has made a difference by being himself and damn the consequences. By being his authentic self, he has allowed others to be themselves." --JUDY SHEPARD, cofounder of the Matthew Shepard Foundation, and author of The Meaning of Matthew "For those of us who served our nation in time of war, Eric Alva's story is a powerful and heartfelt reminder of the realities of sacrifice and risk that all service members face on the battlefield. More importantly, his courage in speaking out against an unjust policy that forced LGBT servicemembers to lie about who we were and who we loved in order to serve the country we loved helped establish a culture that values all the members of the military family. Those of us who were finally able to serve with truth and authenticity will always be grateful for Staff Sergeant Alva's courageous efforts to help create an armed forces that embodies the freedoms we all swore an oath to defend." --MAJOR GENERAL PATRICIA ROSE, USAF (ret) "When I went to San Antonio and told Eric to tell me his story, he went all the way back and told the story of his accident and then coming home. I was in tears. I was on the edge of my seat. I did not move for two hours listening to him. It's such an inspiring story." --JOE SOLMONESE, former president of Human Rights Campaign, and author of The Gift of Anger
