From the Author:
I travel as an "amateur," a non-professional. I travel like many regular people, and not as a soldier, diplomat, foreign correspondent or scholar. Thus travel left me with a decade's-worth of lingering questions about the extraordinary experiences I'd had. To write An Amateur's Guide, I read 600 books and periodicals to better understand what I'd seen overseas.
