Synopsis

Shoot Me First is a gripping personal account of life in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The author offers intriguing insights into the culture of the tribal territories that straddle the two countries. This is home to the Taliban, an untamed land which continues to absorb so much of the world's attention and military endeavour. The author is shrewd and laconic but above all compassionate. His experience of the world's two major religions deserves careful consideration.
