| 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 |
