  This is a  book full of incredible adventures from most places on the planet, but is still remarkably Australian.

About the Author

Les Seymour was an ordinary kid from Leichthardt, NSW who became a veteran global cinematographer. He has led a remarkable life capturing breaking news events from around the world and has been welcomed into the lives of the rich and famous. He has worked with British Royalty in the UK and four American presidents at the White House, and has worked closely with celebrities from Movie Stars to Opera SIngers and Rock Stars of the times.

He has travelled the globe capturing on film, wars, famines and coups. At one point, his memorial plans were even underway in Sydney when he became Missing-In-Action and was presumed dead, after being captured in Syria and tortured as a spy. Amazingly, Les survived his Syrian captures and lives on to tell his unique and truly engaging stories in his fascinating autobiography.
