An extraordianry journey through pre-9/11 Afghanistan.
This is the story of an adventure that began as an eight-year-old boy growing up in Australia, obsessed with a stranger he knew only as "the Afghan", and ended with a dash to safety across more than 700 kilometres of mountain and desert. Avoiding landmines and bullets, Richard spent months travelling through Iraq and Iran, negotiating a way into Afghanistan. Joining forces with the war-weary Mujahedeen, he found unexpected allies and unforgettable friends.
