"Dave Grimland journeys from his roots in Texas to his final home in Montana via stops in Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Bangladesh, and India--like Odysseus traveling home to Ithaka. As a member of the American diplomatic service, he had the rare opportunity to learn about other cultures and religions in a series of exciting and occasionally dangerous adventures, including a 1974 stop in Cyprus, where he found himself caught in the middle of a coup that would transform the region's politcal landscape. Some of the stories are funnny, others are sad, but all of them entertaining and informative. Take a deeper look into other cultures, and gain new perspectives on old, vexing problems with a Journey to Ithaka."--Back cover.
