"John’s gripping account of his hazardous and eventful life kept me reading it into the small hours of the morning." − Len Deighton, international best-selling author and film producer. For more than 60 years photojournalist John Robert Young has travelled the world, from the Great Wall of China to the rainforest of South America and the remote regions of Africa, documenting war, famine and devastation. In quieter moments, he photographed famous politicians, actors, artists, musicians, beautiful women, a Nobel Prize winner and religious leaders − along with the odd terrorist. He became personal photographer to two future Prime Ministers and Hollywood star Shirley MacLaine. He worked on international film sets with famous actors and directors. 
Along the way John lived with the French Foreign Legion, was given access to China’s People’s Liberation Army, visited Dr Albert Schweitzer in his jungle hospital, experienced famine in Ethiopia, had lunch with Hitler’s film maker, Leni Riefenstahl, and was spirited away by a mysterious man in a black taxi while on assignment in Belfast. 
Humorous, fast paced and reflective, Toothbrush, Passport &amp; Camera is an unforgettable story told against the background of a changing world.
