Around the World in 80 Years

There are 2 parts to the book. The first section covers some ofthe important events that took place around the world, from theearly part of the 19th century, up to the years following WorldWar II. It features the 2 men that I have always admired, both ofwhom planned and fought against tyranny. Neither of these menactually used weapons in the Second World War, but they didwhat they had to do, to preserve our freedom. The 2 men are SirWinston Churchill and my father, both of whom had army careers,dad's lasting for 31 years. Churchill's was a much shorter span,before he moved into Politics. The second part of the book gives details of my travels around theworld to 42 countries. To do this, I fl ew a total of 964,995 miles,taking 1430 fl ights on 91 different types of aircraft. In additionI have traveled far more than a million miles by car. There weremany times that I got very close to having my life cut short, butsomehow I managed to survive, as I am still here at age 79. It was all very interesting to me and I hope that I have been able toconvey some of this excitement in what I have written.
