At the age of fifteen, Earl Russell's life was ripped out from
under him. His uncle, the only father he ever knew, banished Earl
from the only home the boy had ever known. Earl found himself a
teen outcast in a state of despair that sent him spinning without
direction or hope for years. His vision and dreams blurred by
tears, he walked blindly through life.
Desperate, he turned to the military for salvation and
structure. When he was eighteen, he earned the distinction of being
one of the youngest platoon sergeants in the Korean War. During his
service, he traveled to thirty-six countries. In this memoir, he
now shares some of the highlights and heartbreaks of a young man
thrown into war and travel, including his time served in a Libyan
prison for the crime of holding a woman's hand in public.
For Earl the world was a dazzling adventure. This collection of
true tales of one man's journeys is, at times, humorous, amorous,
and poignant. Often, the world traveler and soldier felt like a dog
chasing his own tail. In the end, his travels brought him back to
the hills and mountains of his childhood home in Georgia. He left
as an unsettled boy and returned a wiser man. These are his
stories.
