To the Frontier by Geoffrey Moorhouse (9780571247219)

Description - To the Frontier by Geoffrey Moorhouse

To the Frontier is the compelling and vivid account of Geoffrey Moorhouse?s three-month journey through Sind, Baluchistan and the Punjab to the legendary North-West frontier of Pakistan. From there he reached the closed Khyber Pass and the border with Afghanistan which he was - uniquely - permitted to cross, and scaled the highest peaks of the Hindu Kush. Moorhouse?s evocation of a beautiful, turbulent and little-known region is masterly and unforgettable. ?It was high time someone put Pakistan on the travel bookshelf, and this is what Geoffrey Moorhouse has done - with style, relish, much wit and enormous good humour ? No one has better captured the scenic contrasts of this diverse country.? Sunday Telegraph
