This is a truly great travel adventure through Iraq, Iran & Baluchistan to India in 1933. But what really sets this book apart are the wonderful descriptions of the people & cultures, now nearly forgotten, but still hugely relevant in today's age: all brought evocatively to life by the wonderful photos from 1933. At that time, the idea of traveling to India on a motorbike through the deserts was considered impossible; there were no roads & they were attempting to cross the burning deserts in the middle of August, on a tiny two-stroke motorcycle with barely enough power for the bike & rider, let alone a pillion passenger! Gripping stuff, yet perceptive & full of drama
- definitely a must for all travel & motorcycle enthusiasts.
