My Story e-bog

My Story tells the tale of one man's coming to adulthood in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Because of his international focus, the Author had said little about a subject that might interest a reader familiar with his existing body of work, that is, himself. So, he has turned a penetrating gaze from his customary subjects--people and places in the Middle East and South Asia--to a subject that provides context for his earlier books. From family histories of eighteenth-century Cevio in the Swiss Alps and Marseille in Provence; from childhood, youth, adolescence, and early adulthood in the United States; to the Navy and the Vietnam War; from "e;First Footsteps in the Middle East"e; to "e;Timeline,"e; "e;Red America,"e; and "e;Iran Odyssey,"e; these chapters play out against the backdrop of the family history now provided. As such, this work represents the capstone to a full career.
