Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Reporting from the world's plague-spots, Mueller asks the questions the rest of us were far too busy being clever to think of. Think Douglas Adams meets Holidays in Hell.' Michael Bywater 'This book is full of the sort of elemental survival humour and remove-your-own-appendix directions crucial for travel in these absurdist times.' Jonathan Kaplan 'Andrew Mueller is a gung-ho Candide with a taste for places that it is wiser to avoid. IWSFH is graphic, comic, bemused and properly contemptuous of faith and ideology.' Jonathan Meades Mueller's prose is as spectacular as a Taliban attack on LollapaloozaA" - P.J. O'Rourke

Reseña del editor:

With considerable skill, Mueller skids around the globe from failed state to ravaged war zone to desolate no-man's-land, from Beirut to Basra via Belfast and Bihac, to try to unpick why we humans seem so prone to plucking war from the jaws of peace, why so much that can go wrong does go wrong, over and over again, and how and why some conflicts suddenly, quietly, inexplicably seem to find themselves solved. It's a surprisingly sunny book given the mire in which he finds himself. And it is a notably entertaining and eye-opening tour of the world's moral basements in the vein of Holidays in Hell or Emergency Sex.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
