Between terror and tourism an overland journey across North Africa

For his 65th birthday, acclaimed novelist Michael Mewshaw took a 4,000-mile overland trip across North Africa. Arriving in Egypt during food riots, he heads west into Libya, where billions in oil money have produced little except citizens eager to flee to Europe or join the jihad in Iraq. In Tunis, Mewshaw visits an abandoned Star Wars movie set where Al Qaeda has just kidnapped two tourists. Ignoring U.S. Embassy warnings he crosses into Algeria, traveling through mountain towns and seething metropolises where 200,000 people have died during more than a decade of sectarian violence.

  • "Mewshaw knows two Africas: the picturesque one seen on postcards, and the dangerous one he discovered on African soil. Here, he takes readers from the benign beaches of Morocco to the casbahs of Algeria, where more than 100,000 people have died during a decade of political strife."
