This is the first book Archetype have ever published in over 20 years, and it will probably be the last! It's by my brother, who died in 2015. He had prepared the manuscript of a travel memoir before he died, but hadn't managed to arrange publication. So here it is, forgive me if I'm biased!
David lived a life of adventure. He travelled to exactly 100 countries over a period of 30-odd years, and he preferred the kinds of places that most people would not choose. In this book he writes about journeys to Bangladesh, Indonesia, Rwanda, Congo, the Philippines, south and central America, and many others including Hamilton. He writes with humour and compassion, and engages with travel masochism, tyranny and corruption, and other issues confronting travellers to developing countries. It's a terrific ride.
