Confessions of an Overseas Brat: Growing up in Europe during the 1960s and early 70s Tapa blanda – 20 Diciembre 2018

Ronald Walker grew up in Europe as an Overseas Military Brat. This is his story of how he went from boyhood to manhood living in a most unusual time and place, namely in Madrid, Spain during the 1960s and early '70s. For anyone who was there during that very magical time and place, his story will be a wonderful and nostalgic trip to the past. For those not lucky enough to have that experience, his tales will enlighten, inform and reveal what his experiences were really like living in one of the most exciting cities in Europe, at a time when the entire world was going through such turbulent and profound changes.Part travelogue, part coming-of-age story, and part personal confessions, his stories not only include his travels and adventures all around Spain, but also across the Straits of Gibraltar into Morocco, and then later his unusual experiences while traveling and working in Holland and Germany. Afterward, he explains in detail the many difficulties and challenges of trying to adapt to life in the United States after living overseas most of his life.Being set in the 1960s and early '70s, sex, drugs, and rock and roll all play a big part in his stories. He explores all three in detail, from his first time getting to third base, to smoking kif in Morocco, to watching the Beatles perform live at the Bullring in Madrid when he was only 12 years old and how that experience changed his life forever. His honesty, humor, and openness about his adventures and experiences leave the reader with not only a deeper knowledge and a better understanding of the places and times he explains so well, but also what it was like to be a “Stranger in a Strange Land” (both in Europe as well as in his own country) and what it was like growing up as an Overseas Military Brat.
