Businessman, 1960 Olympic diving medalist, former state legislator (and brother of a U.S. Congressman), reformed drug addict and born~again Christian, he became a fighter against terrorists worldwide because "the thrills and the dangers mated with service to humanity and 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 Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. Hall's no~holds~barred account of the United States' clandestine activities in Central America culminates with a full explanation of the events leading up to and immediately following his December, 1986, arrest and imprisonment by the Sandinistas and their charge that he was a U.S. spy, which brought to light internationally his long service in the secret war against terrorism. Counter~Terrorist is the sometimes shocking, often moving story of a man who lived to find his life's commitment.
