Praise for Pelton: "One of the oddest and most fascinating travel
books."--"The New York Times"
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. [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
