What is the narrator point of view in the autobiography, The Heart and the Fist?

Eric Greitens narrates his autobiography “The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, The Making of a Navy SEAL” in language that is simple and straightforward. It is clear based on Eric’s life and education that he is a very intelligent individual, but he writes for a general audience. He does this for several reasons. The first is to be able to impress upon people the importance of the things he writes, allowing people to easily and more accurately understand those things about which he writes – from refugee camps in Croatia to the war-torn streets of Fallujah. Second, he has important messages and thoughts to convey to readers, and wants to make these points clearly and plainly – such as the importance of courage and compassion in human life. Third, the simple language is evidence of Eric’s explanation that he, and the other SEALS, are not mere Hollywood stereotypes but are ordinary guys who have done extraordinary things and in so doing, have become extraordinary. Eric and his fellows SEALs are human.
