Kurzbeschreibung
Robert Young Pelton, a professional adventurer, and his team of international war correspondents have updated this indispensable handbook for the intrepid adventurer–– a "how–to" in getting in and out of the world's hot spots.
We are living in a dangerous world, and now more than ever people want to know what is going on where (and why). Featuring 25 countries, The World's Most Dangerous Places, 5th Edition offers a brief up–to–the–minute history of each nation, provides tips on how to get in, out and around safely, and uncovers their dangers, from diseases, land mines, and kidnapping to mercenaries and militias. Completely revised, this edition has a number of countries who have been added to the hot list.
With firsthand accounts of breathtaking adventure in each country, the book also provides the latest indispensable information on contacts for nongovernmental and rescue organizations, environmental groups, political activists, training schools in outdoor survival, commando techniques, and other potentially life–saving advice.

has evolved without losing what makes these books great,
Von J. K. Kelley "literary mercenary" (Eastern WA, United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The World's Most Dangerous Places (Taschenbuch)
Thinking of going to someplace dangerous? Not sure if it's dangerous or not? Not even considering it, but want to read up anyway?Pelton can help you. He and his colleagues show every sign of actually going to most of these places, or of interviewing people who did. In the sort of laconic, matter-of-fact style you'd expect of a seasoned mercenary, Pelton tells you what you'd need to know to either survive the trip or (more likely) sensibly decide to go somewhere else.:) What's really attractive about this book, which is roughly the size and shape and thickness of an almanac, is the absolute wealth of information in it. Scores of links to websites. Chapters on countries, including historical and cultural notes. Chapters on crime categories. Stuff on diseases. Tables comparing countries in certain categories (air fatalities, for example). Arguably it should be in the reference section although it's pretty hard to defend moving it out of the travel section. In any event, it makes a wonderful companion to an almanac as a way of learning more about the rest of the world. Refreshingly, the United States (Pelton is Canadian) gets listed and its hazards considered just like any other country. Recommended either as travel information or as a reference on world cultures.

Required reading!,
Von PS "PS" (Aschheim) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The World's Most Dangerous Places (Taschenbuch)
Essential Guide to the world's rough spots with all necessary information you will need for all your travels that go beyond hanging out on the beach and riding a bus to see some monument or other. Also a great source of background information on conflicts and their causes, the major players and interests and so on... Some problems though: There is the tendency to repeat information given 2 paragraphs above, and then again and again. Also, if you are familiar with RYP's other works (well worth a read), you will notice that some passages seem to have been lifted straight from another book's manuscript and incorporated into this one(or the other way around...). Some statistical data appears downright contradictory to other information in the same chapter, and a proofreader DEFINITELY wouldn't hurt. RYP, if you're reading this, I'll do it for a free copy and some DP gear, OK? Buy it now, you'll never regret it!

Very informative and exciting!,
Von Splatt (Utah) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The World's Most Dangerous Places (Taschenbuch)
Rarely has there been a more personal, in-depth account of what it is like in the forbidden zones of the world. The things the author saw and heard are truely eye-openers, and I read spellbound. He tells it like it is, as he saw it, without discoloration by politics and opinion.In addition to the adventure, this book contains useful information on how to make crooks less likely to target you while abroad, and how to handle yourself if they do. It also contains information on how to handle yourself if you're ever in a dangerous place or situation. This book contains information you will never see on the news, or learn about in school. It is definitely worth it! Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen
