From riding the freights in Depression USA as a student, to wartime freedom fighter and RAF bomber pilot, to blockade runner, NBC vice president with the Today, Home, and Tonight shows, and tramp in New York's Central Park, Erik Hazelhoff's compelling autobiography offers a dramatic insight into his truly extraordinary life. Born in Java in 1917, Dutchman Erik hitch-hiked and rode the freights across the USA in the 1930's, then wrote his first best seller, 'Rendezvous in San Francisco'. As a law student at Leiden University when World War 2 broke out, he escaped to England but returned as an undercover agent for MI6, the British Secret Service. He later received the Dutch equivalent of the Medal of Honor, and served as aide to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands upon her return from England. Erik's postwar life was no less turbulent and spanned the globe. From sales clerk and actor in Hollywood to Director of Radio Free Europe, to oil prospector in Israel, he finally came to rest on the Big Island of Hawaii. In the words of acclaimed author Len Deighton, "Erik has lived a hundred lives."
