Fighting Windmills: A Quixotic Odyssey - Paperback

by Robert O. Morris (Author)

"Fighting Windmills" is the story of a modern-day Don Quixote, whose adventures are revealed as you march side by side with the author on his life's journey, one that has truly been to the beat of a different drum. His adventures as a CIA Operations Officer during pivotal times in our country's recent history, an Army 'Green Beret', an International Business Executive, and Entrepreneur, are chock full of life, laughter, love and the lessons learned along the way. This is a story about life as seen through the eyes of a romantic idealist, and the quixotic odyssey which evolves; as Webster defines, "quixotic" implies "extravagantly chivalrous or romantic, impractical, impulsive and often rashly unpredictable," which aptly describes the saga herein. This is a unique story of intrigue and normality, of success and failure, of love and the loss of it, of the perpetual seeking of wisdom and the occasional departure from sound judgment. In essence, it is a fundamental story of the human experience.
