Travels With Dad

Book Cover & Preview Text
By skillfully weaving narrative and dialogue to propel ‘action’ in the life of our family - reminiscent of recitative and aria in the best of opera - my brother has told an intimate story. Its roots are in the early 20th century; its focus is on only a few mid-century years, but they resonate to this day. Not unlike a critical move in chess, after which the variations are more or less forced, he describes in endearing detail our twists and turns, some accidental, other a product of exemplary courage and inspired leadership.

About the Book
Raised by his widowed mother in Montenegro, my dad graduated from the Belgrade Law School. After Germany and its allies occupied Yugoslavia, he joined the partisans in their harrowing struggle for the country’s liberation. His attraction to seas, his diligence and his people skills found a lifelong vocation in foreign affairs. This intimate travelogue traces my dad’s family line, crisscrosses the Balkans, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, and portrays Lebanon in the mid-sixties. Radomir Radović (1918-2000) was a distinguished Yugoslav diplomat.
