Around the World in 80 Years [EPUB ebook] 

There are 2 parts to the book. The first section covers some of
the important events that took place around the world, from the
early part of the 19th century, up to the years following World
War II. It features the 2 men that I have always admired, both of
whom planned and fought against tyranny. Neither of these men
actually used weapons in the Second World War, but they did
what they had to do, to preserve our freedom. The 2 men are Sir
Winston 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 the
world 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 addition
I have traveled far more than a million miles by car. There were
many times that I got very close to having my life cut short, but
somehow 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 to
convey some of this excitement in what I have written.
