REVIEWS
Picture Indiana Jones as a mathematician. The life described in this memoir is a good deal more complicated and nuanced than the movie hero’s, but its author is no less a stereotype-breaker. This book takes us from Ted Hill’s years as a cadet at West Point to his retirement. Almost nothing he did followed a conventional path… This is a remarkable memoir, one unlikely to find its match in the diversity of experiences it describes. Hill is a master storyteller.
