My first book by the now-beloved author. I arrived in USA in the 1980's - and was too young to vote for Regan - so this book fills in a chunk of US history I did not have much clue about. It's a collection of dispatches, peppered with sailing adventures and personal interactions. A very enjoyable read... The dispatches from Nixon's trip to Beijing (China) made me laugh - it's amusing how little has changed between that time and year 2000, when I spent a month there! Think: Resurfacing just the kitchen cabinets instead of getting a new kitchen. Highly recommended. P.S. I know it's available in paperback as that's what I have. No doubt more affordable than the hundred bucks demanded for this hardcover!
