Description
George Bennett's memoir of life as a long-haul truck driver in the 1970s and early '80s is a gripping account of adventure and survival. With a background in American history and inspired by spiritual teachings, George spent seven years driving trucks across Britain, Europe, and the Middle East. His stories are full of near-disastrous scrapes and escapes from danger, as well as fascinating insights into ordinary life in countries like the Gulf states before the outbreak of conflict. Each episode is introduced with a description of his latest truck, including technical details and sketches of the companies he worked for and the characters he met along the way. This book offers a unique perspective on a bygone era, when individual drivers relied on their own skill and ingenuity to navigate the challenges of long-haul trucking. With its easy style and engaging narrative, it's a compelling read for anyone interested in true stories of adventure and exploration.
