Prize-winning author Michael J. Totten returns with a masterpiece of travel writing and history in this journey through 13 nations - all but two formerly communist - just beyond the edge of the West where few casual travelers venture. His work as an independent foreign correspondent takes him deep into the field beyond the sensational headlines, from his hilariously miserable road trip with his best friend to Iraq to the Wild West of Albania, the most bizarre country in Europe; from the killing fields in Bosnia and Kosovo to a Romania haunted by the ghosts of its communist past.

Curiosity
Revisado: 04-14-21
this book is some sort of curiosity. I downloaded it intrigued by the subject without thoroughly researching before buying and I found myself listening to the authors extensive complains about problems of English speaking adventurists ordering at restaurants in remote places, descriptions of the local macdonald's and the quality of their offering in different locations, lists of junk food consumed en route to the next challenging and always dangerous location to be visited, dialogues with locals while trying to appear local or over stressing descenting from the US, depending on the case, seemingly always in a hurry for one reason or another. interesting as an account of how an American from Oregon perceives these parts of the world but with very little other information of interest it offers little else to the reader resembling one of the discrepid Ukrainian landscapes it describes.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 12
As a young boy growing up in the outskirts of Dublin, Gabriel Byrne sought refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near his home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city. Born to working-class parents and the eldest of six children, he harboured a childhood desire to become a priest. When he was 11 years old, Byrne found himself crossing the Irish Sea to join a seminary in England. Four years later, Byrne had been expelled and he quickly returned to his native city. There he took odd jobs as a messenger boy and a factory labourer to get by.
