Blending travel writing with the author's observations on the deeper political and social issues during 1931 and 1932, this title describes the eventual horrors of the Soviet Union and the downfall of the Raj.

Of the journey by travel writer Robert Byron to the Middle East, this serves as a rare account of the architectural treasures of a region now innaccessible to most Western travellers, and a nostalgic look back at a more innocent time.
