An extraordinary and somewhat insane culinary journey to the world's most dangerous hotspots, brought to you by the man with a stomach of steel, Stefan Gates.
Originally filmed as a riveting BBC series, Stefan's idea was to understand countries in crisis not through facts and figures, but through hearts, souls ... and stomachs. This is the story of his behind-the-scenes emotional rollercoaster, as he dines on fat-tail sheep with the Taliban, grazes on yak-penis with the Communists in China and sups irradiated wine in Chernobyl.
The result was moving and sometimes shocking television. Refreshingly uncensored and able to go where the camera couldn't, the book takes you even further.
