Produktbeschreibung
An autobiography, this book is about the events and personalities of one hundred years of modern legends through the eyes of one who has lived it, stated in a uniquely opinionated manner. It includes wars and whores, the inside of business and politics on several continents, with unexpurgated revelations of individuals known to nearly everyone who lived during those times or learned about them since. Royalty, film figures, heads of state, corporate tycoons, and politicians parade through the pages as part of the author's daily life. Twentieth century history comes alive with experiences in Baltic wars, Adolf Hitler's inner circle, Greek government coups, CIA mercenaries in Africa, American heiresses, and the privileges of diplomatic office. Related by one born into riches and relegated to poverty, the narrative progresses via family scoundrels, political involvements, and escape and escapades in America. An unintendedly adventurous life from wealth and privilege to penniless, left with the asset of a brilliant mind to tell the story.

Autorenporträt
Born in Athens, Greece in 1934, son of a military hero from a wealthy Greek family, he served the family fortunes before becoming a mercenary soldier, then joining the Greek military regime as a diplomat. The Greek junta overthrown, and his life endangered, he became a fugitive in America. Now a subsidized retiree in San Antonio, Texas, he relates stories of his life of wealth to welfare.
