In a personable and unassuming style, the author talks about the people and The Places in Between he got to know as he walked across Afghanistan from Herat to Kabul in 2002, very shortly after the fall of the Taliban, following the central route across the mountains in winter taken by Afghanistan's first Mughal emperor. The human detail nicely complements the war stories that are all many of us knew about the area and makes the place names real.
