LAST CALL: Journeys from another time
There was a time when business travel was still an adventure.
There were no mobile phones, no internet, no GPS and no instant answers. A telex arrived, a ticket was booked, and the rest depended on experience, common sense and the ability to improvise.
From Saddam Hussein's Iraq to Muammar Gaddafi's Libya, from the Soviet Union to a rapidly changing China, from Fallujah to Saigon and eventually to Thailand, these are the true stories of a manager whose career became a passport to a disappearing world.
Along the way he negotiated million-dollar contracts, built petrochemical plants, worked in war zones, survived bureaucracies, cultural misunderstandings and more than a few unexpected adventures.
But this is not a book about business.
It is about freedom.
The freedom to explore, to make decisions, to solve problems without a manual, and to discover that the greatest opportunities often begin with stepping into the unknown.
Sometimes funny, sometimes dangerous and often unbelievable, these stories capture a world where trust mattered more than technology and every journey began with a blank page.
A world that has disappeared-but deserves to be remembered.
