The Places In Between
‘Tragic, touching and terrifying’ – The Telegraph
‘A flat-out masterpiece’ – The New York Times Book Review
Embark on a death-defying journey through war-torn Afghanistan in this moving travelogue from Rory Stewart, bestselling author of Politics on the Edge and co-host of the hit podcast The Rest Is Politics.
Caught between hostile nations, warring factions and competing ideologies, Afghanistan was in turmoil following the US invasion. Travelling entirely on foot and following the inaccessible mountainous route once taken by the Mughal emperor Babur the Great, Rory Stewart was nearly defeated by the extreme, hostile conditions.
Only with the help of an unexpected companion, and the generosity of the people he met on the way, did he survive to report back on his journey with unique insight on a region closed to the world by twenty-four years of war.
