A life lived at full throttle across every corner of the globe — that is the extraordinary promise of So Long Until Tomorrow: From Quaker Hill to Kathmandu, the memoir of Lowell Thomas, one of the twentieth century's most celebrated broadcast journalists, adventurers, and storytellers. Spanning his beloved home at Quaker Hill in New York to the remote heights of Kathmandu, Nepal, this sweeping autobiography chronicles a career that took Thomas from the battlefields of World War I alongside Lawrence of Arabia to the farthest reaches of the Himalayan kingdom, painting an intimate portrait of a man who was never content to watch history from the sidelines. Thomas writes with the magnetic authority of a man who shaped modern broadcasting and brought the wider world into American living rooms for decades. His prose is vivid, anecdotal, and warmly personal, reflecting on friendships with presidents, kings, and explorers while never losing sight of the quiet pleasures of his Hudson Valley home. A towering figure in American media history, Thomas leaves readers with a final, irresistible question: with a life this full, could there possibly have been more?
