About this product
Product Information
Street Lamps is an unusual type of autobiography because it describes the life of somebody with absolutely no public recognition. However, it offers a unique personal record of seventy turbulent years in the history of our time; and it is a fascinating and entertaining read. Peter Cruttwell presents this colourful and well-observed portrait of his passage from war-time childhood to his teenage schooling, travel in war-torn Europe as a boy of 15, service in Military Intelligence and a remarkably varied career in business all over the world. Laced with insight and frequently irreverent personal opinion, the book consists of 170 `light-pools' which are individual cameos depicting episodes in a life led randomly and without obvious design or direction but, as the author remarks propelled by a strong instinct for enjoyable survival . The years from 1937 to 2007 are presented in an astonishing range of vivid, amusing, alarming and sometimes very serious snapshots from an adventurous and eventful life, whose highlights include: Surviving the Blitz, spying in the Soviet Union, tutoring Liza Minnelli, facing a murder rap in Kosovo, escaping from Haiti the day of Papa Doc's death, buying a Boeing 737, and mining in the Amazon.
