Fighting For Light, The Travels of a Tin Pot Warrior is a book about one of the thousands of people, given the chance, who upped and left backgrounds offering very little in the way of hope. These are the chronicles of the life and epic travels of one such person, the author, from hazy and humble beginnings in the 1950's and 1960's, to an ill-fated and short-lived period in the armed forces, followed by years of high adventure and restless travels around large parts of the globe, through invasions and revolutions, one after another.
