An autobiography of William R. Polk. Born in Texas at the beginning
of the Great Depression and spending much of his youth on a ranch,
William Polk considers himself to be one of the most fortunate men
of our time. His travels have taken him throughout Latin America,
Europe, Africa and Asia and have thrown him together with many of
the people who shaped our world. As he relates his experiences, he
puts them into the context of the great events of our time. He was
intimately involved at the center of the Cuban Missile Crisis,
helped to negotiate two cease-fires in major wars, planned
important aspects of American foreign policy, worked on nuclear
problems with the Russians, and many other major isssues. During an
active and wide ranging life, he dealt with such world leaders as
the Shah of Iran, the President of Turkey, the Chancellor of
Germany, the Prime Minister of the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister
of Israel and the President of Egypt in addition to a wide variety
of other "movers and shakers." In intimate detail, he shares these
experiences in this moving and dramatic but personal history of our
times
