This is is one of those "can't-put-it-down" books. NiCarthy doesn't just tiptoe outside her comfort zone, she dives in heart first. She takes her readers on whirlwind journeys to Iraq just before the U.S. invasion, to Afghanistan in the middle of a war, and to Colombia embroiled in civil strife. NiCarthy's lens is always through the eyes of women and the oppressed. She is a first-class story teller who mixes local color with brilliant observations and political analysis. Readers will learn a lot about the world and pick up lessons on how to be sensitive, mindful travelers. But most of all, they will close the book in awe of this octogenarian who lives life to the fullest.They'll be inspired to follow in her footsteps-if they can keep up! ~Medea Benjamin, Co-founder of Code Pink and Global Exchange and author of Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control
