In that same year Tom Leech was on the road, making his a round-the-world journey of nearly six-months and 27 countries visited. Now, four decades later, he reviews month-by-month that tumultuous year 1968, from the perspective of a curious traveler's experiences, complemented by those of many friends from back then, also on the road in '68. From Tom Fenton, International Columnist, PRI's The World and former International Correspondent, CBS News: \"I was a foreign correspondent in 1968, and Tom Leech's account of his trip around the world is a time machine that takes me back to the world as it was then. It is more than travel writing. It's a personal account of what it was like to be young and on the road in a year that made history, and a reminder of how much the world has changed since then.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Leech\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Booksurge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439220610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTom Leech wears several hats as an author, professional speaker and corporate presentations coach.
