Scars and Stripes

An Unapologetically American Story of Fighting the Taliban, UFC Warriors, and Myself

By: Tim Kennedy, Nick Palmisciano

Narrated by: Tim Kennedy

From decorated Green Beret sniper, UFC headliner, and all around badass, Tim Kennedy, a rollicking, inspirational New York Times bestselling memoir offering lessons in how to embrace failure and weather storms, in order to unlock the strongest version of yourself.

Tim Kennedy has a problem; he only feels alive right before he’s about to die. Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban.

But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues for, quite simply, “being a selfish asshole.”

With his vivid and stirring voice, Scars and Stripes “is an authentic gut punch of a life lived with grit, resiliency, and a never-quit attitude in the face of heartbreaking failures and incredible success that every American can learn from” (Patrick Murphy, veteran and former United States Under Secretary of the Army). Kennedy reveals that failure isn’t the end—rather it’s the first step towards unearthing the best version of yourself and finding success, no matter how overwhelming the setbacks may feel.

Excellent

Humble and humbling. Tim gives a insightful rendition of his life and experience, from his terrifying childhood antics to his equally thrilling adult stunts. Great listen, very inspiring. Thank you for your service, Tim Kennedy.

Great book

there have been few books that I liked so much that they got a second or third listen, but this book has hooked me so much that it will definitely be one of them. listening to this had made me wish I was friends with Mr. Tim Kennedy. Without a doubt give it a listen!

awesome book

Not a big book person, but I couldn't stop listening to the audio version on the book. Having the narrator be Tim Kennedy made it even more enjoyable. Favorite audio book I've listened to in a VERY long time!

Absolutely amazing life!

I was so excited to listen to Tim. I have heard of him but you never really know the entire story. Tim has an awesome outlook on his life and his passions in it.
Great job Time and Nick!!!

Awesome!

This book made me reevaluate my life as a whole. 10/10 recommend to anyone wishing they had a real role model or a lifestyle wished they could follow.

Amazing!

As a veteran i appreciate this book so much. It’s an amazing ride that left me thirsty for more Tim Kennedy stories. Hunting hitler here I come.

Unbelievable

Tim is a great American and it was awesome reading about his life experiences. Make your kids read it. it has an awesome message

Mostly great

At one point in this book Mr. Kennedy made fun of Marines. So, I deducted a star.

Maaaan

This is one Hell of a book! Listened to the first couple then binged the rest over 2 days. It’s that good.

Great book

We listened to this on our vacation road trip and loved it. My 15 year old son was even enthralled. I'd seen Tim on his TV show, Hunting Hitler, but his life journey is fascinating and crazy. Lots of life lessons, good and bad ones.
