This is a book that is not a typical auto biography, but each chapter captures part of his TV life and the people he met. So it feels a little disjoint because of this fact.
Some chapters make you feel nostalgic for bygone ages, some sad for the people whose fame and fortune still saw them seeing out their decline in diminished circumstances.
The best chapter is toward the end describing him arriving in Milan as a officer in the second world war and having the SS surrender to him rather then be lynched by Italians. Also the history of the chest of currency that the SS handed over to him, mysteriously to go missing is interesting.
