Later, stranded in a canoe that was filling with water, he confesses: ‘I was frightened, more frightened than I had ever been. What upset me more than anything, quite irrationally, was the thought that if we drowned – which seemed more than probable – none of our people would ever know what had happened to us and why.’

For me I'd also read "A short walk in the Hindu Kush" and whilst I enjoyed that, this is better although similar in style. Newby's self deprecating style and sardonic humour really works well in this setting and the gravity of the situation contrasts really well with that, although he never feels flippant - it's clearly just his character to see the funny side of things.

Very enjoyable on the whole, I was disappointed with the ending (yes I know there was an epilogue) as it was very abrupt. The Crown will portray Princess Diana as pregnant and will showMohamed Al-Fayed claiming she and Dodi were killed as part of an 'establishment plot', source claims

I first read this book 20 years ago, and I knew I would want to read it again. Having just done so, I can say that it was every bit as good the second time around as it was the first. Life is sweets! Jamie Laing says building his Candy Kittens brand has brought his boyhood dreams to life - and that making them 100 per cent vegan was a 'no-brainer' Newby writes about the Italian army being in dire need of food and remarks that in Britain there were organizations that worked together to support the troops.
