Joyriding with a Terrorist in Yemen: and Other Travel Tales

Heâ€™s back!Rufus McGaugh, whose first book, Longitude and Latitude, with Attitude, chronicled some of his first 49 years of travel around the globe to every country in the world, has written a follow-up, detailing more of his journeys from that time (and of the two years since)â€”both the travails and triumphsâ€”once again in entertaining and amusing (sometimes even instructive and moving) vignettes.But Joyriding with a Terrorist in Yemen is even more than an engrossing travelogue.In it, Rufus revisits his Vietnam experience and the aftermathâ€”both in the rather amusing tale of his last days as a Marine and in the grim descriptions of the misery of wounds and disease (not to mention in a detailed and poignant chapter on PTSD anger management}.He gives us a glimpse into what itâ€™s like to teach middle-schoolers about world travel (and phys. ed.). He chronicles the hazards of family trips, and he delivers some of his trademark stories about getting lost in Copper Canyon in Mexico, getting hassled in Saudi Arabia, andâ€”yesâ€”joyriding with a terrorist in Yemen.As in Longitude and Latitude, with Attitude, Rufus writes unpretentiously, often comically, frequently informativelyâ€”and unexpectedly profoundlyâ€”about the adventures and misadventures he experienced on his journeys. Once again, other wanderers like himâ€”and armchair travelers everywhereâ€”will be entranced and enchanted by what he has to relate. And, as before, his lively writing is supplemented by imagesâ€”more than 60 pictures that inveterate photographer Rufus has taken in the course of his trips.
