I Came I Saw I Lost My Luggage

In the time it takes to get through Atlanta airport's luggage system, Peter Biddlecombe negotiates the perils of business life in twenty cities from Beirut to Budapest, all courtesy of another awe-inspiring expense account.
I Came, I Saw, I Lost My Luggage finds the first-class hero at his hilarious and thoughtful best: ostensibly developing contacts, striking deals and attending foreign delegations, he is an astute, informed commentator everywhere he goes, bringing a businessman's eye to bear on the economic and political challenges faced by both post-cold war Europe and the developing nations of Asia and Africa - while simultaneously over-testing the theory that a nation's culture is contained within its bars and restaurants.
Whether power-shopping in Miami, feeling the earth move in Mexico, attending a Finnish masterclass in the noble art of vodka-drinking or simply lamenting the disappearance of the Trabant, Peter Biddlecombe is the perfect bon viveur in a hugely enjoyable alternative world tour - until the malignant evil trading as the Heathrow baggage handlers decide to lose his briefcase again.
