Description
A Passage to Nuristan is the story of three young westerners – a Briton, an American and a German – who in 1960 set out to penetrate a land that few westerners had set eyes on.. Unable to rely on maps or information on what would confront them, they were guided step by precarious step into the unknown world previously immortalised by Kipling’s “The Man Who Would be King”. This is the contemporary record – now published for the first time – of an extraordinary journey. It will fascinate all who are interested in Afghanistan, Central Asia and travel. At the same time it captures the essence of a time and a place now gone forever. Hardback. Published by I.B. Tauris 2005
