This book, ”Nomad”, is available in audio-only free-of-charge (for now), as a small contribution towards helping people while away these Chinese Virus self-isolation hours.
You will find it nowhere else, in print or otherwise.
Not only is it over eighty years old, but after publication most copies were pulped, apparently because of the book's potential for libel. However all participants are now long dead.
The author describes himself as an Irish Sailor, Soldier, Pearl-Fisher, Pirate, Gun-runner, Rum-runner, Rebel and Antarctic Explorer.
For a more complete picture, others have described him as a mercenary, rogue, escaper, hero, freedom fighter, scoundrel, sailor, smuggler, womanizer, streetfighter, deserter, rescuer, communist, fascist, a dangerous foe and an even more dangerous friend.

So fascinating and well-written is Charlie McGuinness's story, that if you listen to even one chapter, you will be challenged not to listen to more!
Remember: you will find this book nowhere else in the world.
