Travellers are a restless tribe and author Stephen Ausherman is one of their most active members. Nomadic, almost solitary, he exists in a state of perpetual dislocation, an ideal vantage point for observing people and places on the edge of chaos. Culled from over a decade of travel through nations as diverse as Iraq, China, Vietnam, and Northern Ireland, Restless Tribes gives the reader a unique insight into the people, cultures, and politics of a dozen nations on five continents.
