336 pages, illustrations, maps, cloth, dj, fine. From the publisher: The sensational but true first-person account of checkered life of Sam Hall. Businessman, 1960 Olympic diving medallist, former State Legislator (and brother of a U.S. Congressman), reformed drug addict, and born-again Christian, he became a fighter against terrorists world-wide because "the thrills and the dangers mated with service to humanity finally made me feel alive." Sam Hall's journey of self-discovery began when he quit his management job in his family's business and joined a U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Sinai, where he was trained by Israeli commandoes. Then began an action-filled, five-year career fighting terrorism - buying black market materiel, conning stuffy bureaucrats with falsified documents, illegally crossing borders, setting up a counter-terrorist rescue team, Free Lancers, and sustaining serious combat wounds along the way in such far-flung corners of the globe as Israel and Thailand, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, El Salvador and finally Nicaragua. It was in Central America that Sam Hall's skills in commando warfare were put to their most severe test, requiring him, as Commandante Zulu, to lead rebel forces into Nicaragua for quick strikes against the enemy. While an 'advisor' to the Contras, he crossed paths with such as General John Singlaub, Robert Owen and Lieut. Col. Oliver North. Hall's no-holds barred account of the USA's clandestine activities in Central American culminating with a full explanation of the events leading up to and immediately following Hall's 1996 arrest and imprisonment by the Sandinistas.
