Media Reviews
Vince Cable: This is a really interesting piece of work which blends personal anecdote and adventure with the history and politics of the places visited on an epic journey. We are reminded that today's tourist traps in the Balkans and Turkey, not to mention the Punjab, have a terrible history. But the kindness of the people that hitch-hikers have to trust shines through as does the strength of the friendship of John and Andrew who made this journey of a lifetime.
