Gives excellent insight into the other side.....

| A quick read that covers in his eye's the way of life of a people or culture that most of us will never comprehend. I don't know why he did it either; maybe it's that some people are apt to roam the world. Stewart is not a Novelist, as some people have tried to critique him on unfairly, but does write in a fashion that you can relate to. It is more of a journal than a story but I found it very interesting and informative. Why some reviews have tried to compare Rory Stewart to Barbour who is the original traveler, explorer extraordinaire is beyond me. I don't think he ever really tried to make himself out to be someone he is not although he is an accomplished Diplomat and PR veteran from the first Gulf War. My opinion is that we should all read this short book just to gain some insight into the minds of the Afghanistan culture. They are a proud people that in some ways more respectful and polite, especially to travelers, than anyone in the western world (not in all ways but in some). |
