About the Book

Take a whirlwind journey around the world, in the life and career of an exceptional Dane during a period of great change. He was there, surviving the gloomy days of occupied Europe during World War II. He was there, rising to the challenges of building harbours and bridges in post-colonial Africa during the Cold War. He was there, observing the intricacies of the European Union as the "old Europe" lost its way. In this vivid autobiography, Erik Norgaard tells the story of his travelling and working as a self-employed consultant from Alaska to Australia, from New York to Micronesia. Through it all, the lessons he learns are simple. Life conjuresaup successes and failures, but with a tenacious will to succeed, heanever gives up. Through it all, loved ones come first, even as his family spreads out further and further across the globe. A warm and inspiring tale of a most unusual life. -- Erik Norgaard is a modern-day Viking who followed his calling to conquer the world with his talents. He studied journalism, graduated as a Civil Engineer and with boundless energy built up his own consulting firm, managing major assignments in 49 countries. His distinguished career came to its conclusion as chief advisor to the European Commission, and as a sceptical witness to the evolution of the new Europe.
