Reading the book ' Captain Vagabond ' is like joining the Author in his trips, adventures, experiences. Once started, one can hardly put it down. Some women have fallen in love (with the book). You share the friendly talks and comments and sympathize. The Captain is not a professional writer but a brilliant Navy man, Electronic Engineer, always first in his class and groups. He started the book as a diary for himself. Only true facts; witnesses and documents testify to that. (Names are changed for privacy). With him you will face Mussolini before his execution: his son 50 years later. Nazi Commanders sending people to Germany. The breaking of secret codes. You'll be there when the Allies occupied Europe, live aboard different war ships; enter the dark secret chambers of the Vatican led by Swiss guards in uniforms designed by Michelangelo, enroll and live in the Naval Academy. Compare American and Italian Society, cruise on deluxe ocean liners. Have a look into the work done in IBM days and nights. Share the impressions of citizens starting a new life in these USA, Encounter ladies of various types, culture, age, education, Learn with the Author a string of professions just for the pleasure of augmenting experience and knowledge. Rush through a fast, breathless lifetime, encounter unusual people. Face unexpected events, ascertain that 'money' is mostly fatuity. Be part of the political, social, philosophical, religious debates, that develop into the final rounds of the 'scenario', amid apologies and eulogies that shake and cover the world. Add four weddings and divorces to a stretch of life. His son is University Professor of International Politics.
