Andrew Sherwood, UK native, US resident, spent fifty years traveling the world as an international business manager for advanced technology companies. He was involved in projects that included the Concorde supersonic airliner, the catalytic converter in your car, the clothes you wear, even the money in your wallet.
After running cross-country at school Andrew took up the sport again in middle age and has enjoyed almost forty years as a distance runner at local, regional and national levels. He has competed with the Atlanta Track Club team in marathons, long-distance relays and national track meets.
Andrew is married, has a thriving bunch of children and grandchildren, and lives in Atlanta, GA.
Cold War Road Warrior - A European Adventure
This book tells the story of twenty years exploring Europe, East and West, at the height of the Cold War. Driving thousands of miles on rough roads in rough weather through tough traffic across the Soviet Bloc gave real meaning to the term "road warrior". But it was my choice and my adventure!
Raised in a provincial English suburb during the austere years in and after the Second World War, I longed to explore the world outside. With little exposure to science during my schoolyears, I was also fascinated by the world of science and technology and longed to become part of it. This story shows how I fulfilled both longings.
In it I have tried to share my enjoyment in traveling to places far from the tourist track and meeting colorful characters in very different countries and cultures. I have also tried to show my excitement in getting to know advanced technologies from electronic steam irons to supersonic aircraft. This book is for all who share such dreams!
