A Fox In the Lion's Den: A Fictionalized and Fact-Based Autobiography of the Life of Dr. Hal A. Bradley, DD. (Crisis Victory) Paperback – November 30, 2021

A Fox in the Lion's Den: A Fictionalized and Fact-Based Autobiography of the Life of Dr. Hal A. Bradley DD (Crisis Victory Book 2) by Hal Bradley is the story of how Bradley went from a kid living near Seattle to a valuable asset to the Department of Justice. The tale begins with Hal getting caught smoking a cigarette with some friends in high school. Back in 1969, this was a big offense that could get you suspended or even expelled. His mother decided it would be best if he got a more worldly view, so she sent him to work at her friend's mining company in Mexico. While there, he befriended another boy his age who happened to be the son of a cartel leader. Soon, he was groomed and brought into the business. He learned a lot but was then sent to Vietnam to serve in the military. Upon his, Hal went back to the life he knew and began moving up the ranks. Eventually, he came to a time when he needed to leave that life. Little did he know that moment was when things were going to start getting really interesting.This is a great story about a man who went from one polar experience all the way to the opposite: A life of crime to a life of service. This is a great uplifting tale about perseverance and strength, right and wrong, courage over impossible odds. Stories such as these need to be shared so we can all learn from others' experiences.

I don't think this opinion can do enough justice but I'm going to give it my best. I have always believed that a man telling his own life experience is a great and more than interesting job and this one in particular validates my thinking.“A Fox in the Lion's Den” is going straight into my top twenty of the year reads since it is very intelligent and clear. I've awarded it five stars and I'd award more if I could!The book shows things that went on that were pretty shocking in connection with a drug cartel but the author’s missions to help and guide people are exceptional. Having said this, I would like to add that I enjoyed so much the writing style used in these pages, which didn’t allow me to put the book down once I started it.

A Fox in the Lion’s Den ISBN: 978173609000 Beverly Hills Publishing. Story and copy right by Dr, Hal Bradley DD. Text Jennifer Myers, on behalf of Story Terrace Design Copyright © Dr. Hal Bradley.The actual story begins by introducing the protagonist as a blue eyed, blond teenage boy in the spring of 1969 riding a burro he had acquired for transportation around the mountain trails of a part of Mexico under control of a cartel dominant in that part of the region. No problems were likely to occur because he was “a kid from America protected by the controlling cartel.” Home actually was Seattle, Washington where he had been thrown out of school for six months for being caught smocking “weed”, a standard procedure for school at the time. He had been shipped to work on the properties owned by a friend of his mothers who acted in desperation hopefully to ‘save’ the wayward youngster. The story as it unrolls, is a fact-based fictional account of his gradual involvement with the cartels but also his slowly developing empathy with those affected by the drugs and slow emergence from his involvement. HE spent a period in prison for his actions with the cartels but emerged to cooperate with the DEA and ultimately work with the often destitute victims of desperation, drug abuse and the rest.Discussion/Summary: This book might be referred to as a ‘memoir of sorts’. It is a remarkable story that presents sections of the author’s life in chapters in an uneven pattern. However, the ‘whole’ makes a fascinating picture and provides glimpses of the activities in which the author was involved along with hints of how the cartels function as well as the DEA. It also provides glimmers of inner prison activity as well as vague descriptions of his activities after ‘accepting God and entering into his ministries’. There is much redundancy although in large part probably understandably excerpted. So to summarize, there is much to learn from this book that as a whole presents an interesting and most unusual read, but is not for everyone.4* 5* material; -1 possibly 2* for presentation

This is one of those incredible life stories that almost sound made up because they are so extraordinary. It is hard to imagine that one person could live through all of what's described in the book, but yet, here we are. Dr. Bradley is a fascinating person and one that took a 180-degree turn in his life. From life in crime and among drug dealers to life devoted to service and spirituality, he truly experienced the plethora of good and bad things life has to offer. The writing is very good, but much of the appeal of the book is solely on the basis of the story itself. Don't miss it.

I enjoyed this book very much. An awesome telling of a man’s life experiences and transition from a very dark life into a life of serving others. This articulated how someone can be pulled into such a dark life and that with determination and focus on positive goals can break away from that life and transition into a life of service to others. Very well written!

I found “A Fox in a Lion's Den” a truly interesting book. First, the title caught my attention and then the whole story, which is part fiction and part biography. Along these pages Hal Bradley narrates the harsh times that he has experienced during life. In this second book, he mentions the importance of religion in his life, how he was able to keep his faith and keep on going.It's well-written, the way he retells his story is remarkable. His writing style is simple but descriptive. I dare say that this book can be a life-changing or a wake up-call for people who don't feel like doing the right things. I thoroughly recommend it.
