Almost exactly four years to the day after running the marathon in New York, Alistair arrived in Kabul, following one of the most challenging and arduous journeys any traveller could undertake, across central Afghanistan. This book penetrates a relatively unknown country, starting from the Iranian border and finishing down the Khyber Pass into Pakistan.
It casts light on a part of the world about which have heard a lot, but, in reality, know little because it remains off limits for many. It reveals a land of distinct beauty, scenery as beautiful as it is remote, and unparalleled ruin.
