Gullible's Travels volume 1

This first volume of Gail Brooks's memoirs takes us from India through Afghanistan, Iran, Nigeria, South Arabia, and East Africa and spans the years 1958-1963. Having run out of money in Tehran, Gail unexpectedly finds a job at the Iran Pan-American Oil Company, launching him on a set of unexpected adventures, including extensive travels with a monkey named Godiva and an acquaintance with the Shah of Iran. Told with wit and remarkably vivid description, these stories bring history to life.
