To quote some "Snapshots" readers:

"You, Sir, are a goddamn national treasure! Multiple TV appearances, dignitary acclaim, wars, generals, spies, hippies, drugs, sex, parties, political revolutions, severe illness, ethnic cleansing, and the Chiquita Banana lady to top it all off! You were there for it all." - Evan Roth

"As a fellow traveler, one who lived and worked on 5 continents over a 15 year period, I enjoyed traveling again with his narrative. I laughed, thought how dangerous some of this was, and wished it could happen all over again. How great it was!"

- Nancy Belmont

"Vibrant pertinent pictures accompanying the flowing narrative makes this book a true delight to read. Allow your imagination to travel to exciting destinations and enjoy the journey!"
