The Perennial Wanderer: An American in the World
Author: Steven D. Orr
Desc: Many authors in satisfying the reading public’s insatiable need for escapist literature invest much time and money in their efforts. Don’t get me wrong—I read that literature myself. Why not? It is usually entertaining if not suspenseful. In The Perennial Wanderer: An American in the World however it is my intent to demonstrate that life is indeed stranger than fiction and I not unlike the escapist writers have invested much time and energy in bringing these life experiences to the reader. After working in so many countries—including war torn and conflictive countries such as Viet Nam Colombia Perú Mozambique Sudan and El Salvador—I have seen more than my share of violence murder mayhem public corruption and chicanery. And none of my observations have taken place as a military man—my military experience by the way was in the peacetime Air Force in the beautiful Hawaiian Islands.
