The Untold Story by Richard Sammons is a compelling first-hand account of his extraordinary involvement in global affairs, danger, and diplomacy over the past fifty years. His remarkable experiences include building a friendship with a KGB operative and maintaining a sanctioned business relationship with the Libyan government under the scrutiny of the UK Security Service. Held at gunpoint twice, Richard provides rare insights into events such as the murder of PC Yvonne Fletcher and the Lockerbie bombing. This is not simply a memoir – it’s a revelatory journey into the hidden corridors of power, diplomacy, and ultimately, survival.
Richard grew up as an only child in a happy and supportive household. Although undiagnosed dyslexia made school a challenge, he was extremely practical and was encouraged to observe the world around him closely – skills that would prove invaluable throughout his career.
By the age of 21, Richard had launched his own business and went on to become a highly successful entrepreneur, earning trust and recognition across the globe. At 71, after five decades at the helm, he retired but continues to lend his expertise and knowledge as a business consultant.
Richard’s first wife passed away from renal failure in 2013. He has two daughters and five grandchildren, and currently lives in Surrey with his second wife and their dog.
