When the Twin Towers fell, Alexs Thompson didn't rejoin the military, he quit his classes at the University of Chicago and backpacked through Yemen and Egypt to live with Muslim fundamentalists.
Eventually, he fought alongside US Special forces and Marines in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout Eastern Africa. Motivated by an unwavering commitment to live the best life possible, this is his story of triumph.
