Potpourri: Fragments of a Fascinating Life - Paperback

by Kate Strasburg (Author)

Fragments of a fascinating life. From playing on her grandfather's ranch and having a WWII bomber crash in front of her... to traveling cross country on a troop train alone with her sister at eleven. From sleeping in scorpion-infested quarters in the jungle of Chiapas at fourteen... to sneaking into a big Communist rally in East Berlin at nineteen. From almost being murdered by Pakistani blacksmiths wielding red-hot blacksmith tools at midnight in East Pakistan...to almost drowning on a ship on her way to Antarctica... Kate Strasburg has had a hell of an interesting life ...and it's all true and in these pages.
