A blend of impressionism, history, political interpretation, and travel writing, this book catches a number of places at specific moments: Watergate Washington, Delhi under a State of Emergency, Rhodesia on the eve of independence, Cairo during Israeli-Egyptian peace talks, and Panama during the United States Treaty debate. Shuttling between London, Trieste, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and New York, Jan Morris makes an informed and perceptive guide. This book is intended for readers and collectors of travel literature; aficionados of Jan Morris's work.
