Publisher's Synopsis
A trip of a lifetime that went wrong. A cruise down the Nile and cross country journey to Sharm-el-Sheikh stalled in Sofia while the luggage is irretrievably sent to Nairobi. Other stories find their way in such as the Communist takeover of Bulgaria and Communist inspired labour disputes in the UK during the 1960s and 70s. Finally the true story of the Suez Canal Zone Emergency from 1950 to 1954 is revealed showing how a secret war was swept under the carpet by the self-interested politicians of both countries, leaving the young British conscripts with no recognition and for fifty years, no Service Medal.
