From his early childhood, Dan Hill wanted to be a soldier. At the age of 15, he forged his birth certificate and enlisted in the United States Army. By the time he was 22 he had seen action as a covert sniper in the Hungarian Revolution, a paratrooper during the Lebanon invasion, an infiltrator during the Algerian Revolt, a gunrunner to Cuba, an undercover mercenary in the Congo– and he had killed more than 200 men. That's when he stopped counting. That was before two tours in Vietnam, before fighting with the Mujahedin in Afghanistan, before going undercover to spy on Islamic and domestic terrorist groups, before predicting both attacks on the World Trade Center, before doing all those deeds that he officially did not do. Dan Hill has truly lived A Life of Blood and Danger.

This is a hell of a story. I’ve written five books about guerrilla warfare and edited a couple of hundred of them. There is not another one like this. If you’re looking for thrills, they’re there. If you’re looking for historical knowledge and a unique perspective, oh baby, there it is. If you’re looking to meet one hell of a soldier, this is probably the best chance you’re ever going to have.

There is a lot to admire about Dan but his conversion to Islam leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

My take on Dan’s conversion to Islam is that he was motivated by a soldier’s need ‘’to know thy enemy better than yourself’’. Dan became Muslim so he could hunt them better.
