He achieved this by surviving riots, revolutions, civil wars, trigger-happy child soldiers, voodoo priests, robbers, pickpockets, corrupt cops, and Cape buffalo. First, he set a record for the longest automobile journey ever made around the world, during the course of which he blasted his way out of minefields, survived a breakdown atop the Peak of Death, came within seconds of being lynched in Pakistan, and lost three of the five men who started with him, two to disease, one to the Vietcong.Īfter that-although it took him forty-seven more years-Albert Podell set another record by going to every country on Earth. This is the inspiring story of an ordinary guy who achieved two great goals that others had told him were impossible.
