Eric Blehm is an award-winning author known for his New York Times bestsellers Fearless and The Only Thing Worth Dying For. His book The Last Season won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award and was named by Outside magazine as one of the “greatest adventure biographies ever written.”

Blehm began his journalism career writing for Powder magazine and later TransWorld SNOWboarding in the early 1990s, where he became editor in chief before transitioning to freelance work. In 1999, he became the first journalist to accompany an elite Army Ranger platoon on a training mission, which was featured in POV magazine. His work set a significant milestone for American war journalism.

Blehm's immersion with military communities led him to write about an elite Green Beret team in The Only Thing Worth Dying For, and the inspiring story of Naval Special Warfare Operator Adam Brown in Fearless. He also authored Legend, an account of the U.S. Army's 240th Assault Helicopter Company and Green Beret Medal of Honor recipient Staff Sergeant Roy Benavidez during the Vietnam War.

His latest book, The Darkest White: A Mountain Legend and the Avalanche that Took Him, tells the story of snowboarding's original superstar. Both Fearless and Legend are being adapted into films by Hollywood producers.

Blehm continues to write and uncover remarkable true stories from his home base in north San Diego County, where he lives with his family.
