About this audiobook

Candace enters the Badlands on a scientific expedition. Young, beautiful and in love with knowledge, she is there to study early man and prehistoric fossils. But what begins with the purest of motives will end in a nightmare of violence and lust. For the men accompanying her are there to plunder the Sioux Nation, to steal their treasures, deface their sacred places, and to rob them of their holiest relics. Now hell itself is loose in the Badlands, and the revenge of the Sioux will know no bounds.

    This book gives a good description on most of the countries we call "The axis of evil" and why we call them evil. It's a mix of the travel stories of Tony wheeler in these countries and the the background on how these countries became the way they were. This balancing act requires some focus and determination of the reader. Because it has a lot of ground to cover and a lot of ground to cover. A lot of the time, the countries are not really evil but only refuse to comply with the wishes of the western countries. Iran is an example of a really loud and obnoxious goverment, but still giving it's citizens some room without letting the country fall apart. In other countries, their goverments truly do bad things to their citizens. (North Korea) He even visits an ally of the USA, namely Saoudi Arabia, which treats their women even worse than Afghanistan. The conclusion of the book says that not all countries are really evil. Especially when you compare them what the Western countries have done onto some of them, like Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Got this from the library. It's a good travel guide/armchair travel written by the co-founder of Lonely Planet. I found his travels through Afghanistan and Albania to be fascinating, though I was less interested in Burma. Took a break in Cuba to read another book.ETA 14/8:I never finished this book. It was a good read, and some moments where the real country shined through what we hear in the news. Unfortunately I ran out of time with getting ready for the Australia trip and I had to return it to the linrary
