Ebook: A Passage to Nuristan: Exploring the Mysterious Afghan Hinterland

This 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 and with little information on what would confront them, they were guided step by precarious step into the unknown world previously immortalized by Kipling's The Man Who Would be King . This is the contemporary record--now published for the first time--of an extraordinary journey.
