ReviewsThe author's prose facilitate his travels - colorful and witty in his descriptions of conversations with the locals, he also catches gruesome imagery when relating the horrors of war. [This book] reads like an Indiana Jones script interwoven with political analysis. Readers may finish Pelton's account wondering how he managed to stay alive - and hoping he perseveres to write again."-- Virginian Pilot, "Even without a large conclusion, this is a book filled with information we need to know about how the world goes mad."--Weekly Standard "Pelton is an excellent reporter, the kind of person who is very adept at describing horrors to his readers in a way that is intelligent, credible and thought-provoking. This is an odd book, but it is excellent and absorbing, even if it requires having the stomach for disturbing descriptions of war zones. I recommend this book very highly."--Metrowest Daily News, The author's prose facilitate his travels - colorful and witty in his descriptions of conversations with the locals, he also catches gruesome imagery when relating the horrors of war.
