After walking and hitch-hiking through southern Turkey and the ayatollahs'' Iran, he entered Afghanistan illegally in the wake of a convoy of Chinese weapons and spent two months dodging Russian helicopter gunships with rebel guerillas. He was the first foreigner to cross from Pakistan into the closed western province of China since the revolution of 1949. Living and travelling with local people and pitting his wits against officialdom, Danziger broke barriers and crossed boundaries of all kinds. Written with engaging humour and a great zest for life, ''Danziger''s Travels'' is an exceptional book in every way, handsomely illustrated with the author''s own outstanding photographs and drawings. ''Danziger is the stuff that legends are made of... his remarkable story... contains some of the most exciting travel writing I have ever read'' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE, ''Literary Reviewer''
