'John West, a former Reuters correspondent in Cairo, plunges into
this confusion with bright-eyed curiosity and a natural
storyteller's appreciation of disconcerting detail. His tendency to
pick up the threads of cafe conversation takes him into strange
corners scarcely noticed by news reporters' Financial Times.

'Descriptions will resonate for anyone who knows the region ...
West adds spine-chilling veracity to his narrative whilst at the
same time giving a voice to those who have often fearfully chosen
to remain silent' Wanderlust.
