When Angels Travel is a fictionalized account of the International Business Travels by Richard F. Challis in the 1960's. The author was the "Regional Manager for the Far East and Oceania" for the large American Corporation he worked for. In looking after the company's interests in this vast area he did an enormous amount of travel.
Later in his career, Mr. Challis became a lecturer in international marketing at what is now part of the University of South Australia.
In this book, Mr. Challis has condensed several years of incidents into a single world tour. He tells the story in his lively and easily readable style.

The book was written in the 1960s, in British English, and the language it's written in reflects both the time and type of English. A few of the words have changed their meaning over the years, and at least one might be considered to be offensive in modern US English. It was a neutral word in British English in the 1960s, and is still a neutral word in most of the countries that it is used in.
There have been many changes in the last 60 or so years, and the book is interesting for historical reasons, as well as its intrinsic merit.
