Synopsis

In a career that spanned thirty-five years, and five Presidential administrations, Jim Cary wrote, analyzed, and gave newspaper readers across the country an inside view of the State Department and the White House. The early view of his life from childhood during the Great Depression to the bloody battlefields of Europe in World War II reveals the people and events that forged his post-war career. His world wide assignments as a journalist for several major news outlets are explained with humor and honesty, from the shores of Japan to the revolution torn streets of South America. In the hours and days he spent following Presidents as they coped with crisis we get to know the level of stress and the taste of accomplishment a reporter feels on the job. One Hell of a Ride is an aptly named story from the outset, and follows what most readers will consider a life well spent.
