SolderSmoke - A Global Adventure in Radio Electronics

I just finished reading the above book and really enjoyed it. Bill Meara tells of his experiences with amateur radio and electronics starting in his teens and later as he lived in various parts of the world as a diplomat. It alternates between narrative stories and discussions on electronics theory.

As someone who also played with ham radio and electronics from his teens and continuing in adulthood, I felt a lot in common with the author.

You can find all the details here.
