Book Description
Survived To Tell About It is based on the true-life experiences of Bill Marshall. It’s the story of a coal miner who, after escaping death in a collapsed mine, unwittingly takes a job as a doorman at a nightclub. Little did he know that the primary function of the job was to remove undesirables from the club, in any way possible! Bill disliked violence and, in most cases, removed unruly customers from the club without resorting to physical force. However, on those occasions when he couldn't avoid it, Bill showed he was more than capable of handling any trouble that came his way. The glitz and glamour of the industry, not to mention the appeal of wearing an evening suit to work, was like a powerful drug to Bill. When he finally grew tired of the seedy side of the nightclub business, Bill set off on an incredible odyssey that took him to the Middle East. Not surprisingly, more improbable adventures followed. As one of Bill’s friends once told him, “You’re what every boy wants to be when he’s growing up and what every man wishes he had been when he’s grown old.”
