This is the gripping true story of 4 intense years in the life of a US Army Special Forces soldier, who joins the UN, and then goes on to assignments in some of the world's most dangerous countries-finding himself on sometimes-terrifying missions that include murderous child-soldiers, blood diamonds, a double hostage-taking, the rape of innocents, an invasion by brutal guerrillas, an emergency aerial evacuation, a desperate mission to recover hundreds of prisoners, tribal gunfights and unusual kidnappings, refugee camp violence, a deadly jihadist suicide bombing attack, and institutional corruption.
