Overview

""Voll puts you on the front lines - whether he's hanging with a Bosnian warlord, an Iraqi hunter of terrorists, an 82nd Airborne white supremacist, the father of the H-bomb, or his wife during childbirth. Exciting reading."" -Oliver Stone Daniel Voll doesn't just report stories. From war zones and extremist bunkers to Hollywood movie sets, Voll embeds himself with some of the most dangerous, damaged, and fascinating people of our time. In this gripping collection of true stories, Voll takes readers on a journey through places few ever see. We meet: a movie star who runs a secret laboratory in an effort to live forever; a brother and sister who fall in love; a teen who trains to kill abortion providers; a terrorist hunter in Iraq who finds himself being hunted; a war criminal on the run across Bosnia. And more. Along the way, we also peer inside Voll's own heart as he confronts marriage and parenthood-but not necessarily in that order. Each of these 18 trademark Voll pieces is a literary event-an astonishing tableau of deeply human journalism. Foreshadowing our divided and imperiled times, these are dispatches from a world on tilt. ""This book can and should be read as a beautifully written memoir...Feels more like watching the movie than reading"" -Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC ""Shocking and irrefutable reporting...a portrait of a world coming apart at the seams."" -Mark Warren, 2025 Pulitzer Prize Winner ""Hold on to your hats . . . these are ripping yarns!"" -David Mamet
