While working as a correspondent for The New York Times, he was embedded with the Mujahideen during their fight with the Soviet Union. He returned to Afghanistan after 9/11 as a CBS News reporter, and in 2006 he became the only journalist to go up into the mountains near the Pakistan border to the site where U.S. Army Ranger, Pat Tillman, was killed. His professional journey took a turn in 2008 — he was traveling through the Tribal Areas of Pakistan, in its borderlands with Afghanistan, and was held captive for 45 days. The incident is recounted in his critically acclaimed book, "Captive: My Time as a Prisoner of the Taliban" https://www.amazon.com/Captive-Jere-Van-Dyk/dp/080508827X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Years later, while researching links among the Haqqani Network, ISIS, the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and the Council on Foreign Relations, he returned to the area to find who was responsible for his kidnapping. This trip inspired his book, "The Trade: My Journey into the Labyrinth of Political Kidnapping." https://www.amazon.com/Trade-Journey-Labyrinth-Political-Kidnapping/dp/1610394313
