| Book Description | This book combines practical advice with contributions from journalists and commentators who share their experiences and advice on surviving in difficult and dangerous situations. Topics include how to avoid being misunderstood; how to avoid bombs and booby traps; how to escape from a riot; how to deal with frostbite and heat exhaustion; how to avoid trouble in sex, love and war; and how to cope with traumatic experiences. Medical information has been vetted by Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), which also receives a share of the royalties. |
| Editorial Review | Rosie Garthwaite's book is as informative as it is entertaining and as practical as it is well written. It deserves a place on the bookshelf or under the backpack flap of everyone who has endured the ups and downs of wanderlust and warzones -- Patrick Hennessey All medical students should read it along with all their formal ABC First Aid manual -- Carl Hallam, former MSF volunteer and UK Marine Essential knowledge on first aid, emergency medicine, getting fresh water and food, drugs, and surviving an attack. Anyone traveling in one of the listed hot spots will find crucial information for avoiding harm in this excellent guide. Publishers Weekly, USA [A] gonzo survival guide Christian Science Monitor, USA In a chatty first-person voice, [Garthwaite] weaves her own experience with anecdotes from fellow journalists, aid workers, former hostages and other war-zone veterans. The information on medical care, wilderness survival and food would be useful anywhere. Washington Post, USA Her voice is a heady combination of breezy charm, sardonic seen-it-allness, and straight-talk-ery... She could sell a warzone as an adventure holiday purely on her personality... if you need its advice, keep it close and read it often -- Nicholas Blincoe Daily Telegraph, UK |
