I enjoyed this book. I bought it to read about North Korea, but I found the chapters from Iran to be a pleasant surprise. Three very different countries, with separate histories and cultures and contemporary challenges, and I liked reading about the author's highly constrained terms of travel in each country. I'm not sure if I will ever visit any of these places, so I am thankful that this book took me to them.
Engaging and well written. Scott's common man view of the extraordinary places he visited gave me a better understanding of the often stereotyped views of these three countries. I found his one on one encounters the most telling of the disparities between the rulers and governments of countries and of the people they rule.
An important read for me. I needed to be reminded that governments are not the same as the people they govern. WELL WRITTEN I felt as if I had made the visits. I feel it is an accurate account of the people.
Part PJ O'Rourke and part Paul Theroux, self-described writer, business owner, and professor Scott Fisher embarks upon what may be considered by many a fool's errand; travel to each of the so-called "Axis-of-Evil" countries: North Korea, Iraq, and Iran.-North Korea-The book begins with the author traveling deep into the heart of the Never Never Land of Kim Jong Il's North Korea. There he encounters fully brainwashed and sycophantic followers of the "Dear Leader." The government-run tour is the only way that foreigners may travel there and he describes the surreal experience with amusing insight and an alarming penchant for annoying the aforementioned sycophantic followers. His often heated and always honest exchanges with his guides and a few everyday Koreans demonstrate the truly insidious nature of the last true bastion of communism left in the world.-Iraq-From the government-run mishap of North Korea, the book moves to another one in Iraq. Mr. Fisher was sent to Iraq by the State Department, where he was employed as a China analyst (even though he has a graduate degree in Korean Studies). This seemingly ridiculous fact highlights the mismanagement he will come to describe in his book. Due to the increasing violence at the time, he was unable to see much of the daily life of Iraqis, but he details his battles with "by-the-book" Marine colonels and even on-base traffic police with scathing humor. Wherever he goes, he certainly has a way of irritating the powers that be, he but describes these encounters with such wit and charm that one comes away with the impression he'd be a great guy to sit down and have a beer with.-Iran-Although Iran neighbors Iraq, it took him thousands of miles, piles of red tape from the pentagon, and a long nervous wait for an Iranian travel visa to get to the final country to complete his axis trifecta. It is during this third section where Mr. Fisher's talents as a writer and observer really shine. This section of the book easily matches that of a travel-writing master such as Paul Theroux. Surprisingly, it was in Iran that he was most free to travel and meet with the people of the country he was visiting. Despite what today's news headlines say, Mr. Fisher describes a country of uber-friendly and welcoming people caught between the forces of conservatism and the forces of reform. He visits, of all things, a Jewish shrine, the tomb of Daniel (of the lion's den), the burial place of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, and travels within spittingdistance of the suspected home of the country's nuclear program. Throughout his journey he is accompanied by the "Professor" his local guide who does his best to educate, enlighten, and protect the intrepid traveler.-Conclusion-He ends his book with this observation: "I was specifically looking for the kind of ties that could help bring together the three distinct parts of this narrative. After months of research and reflection it finally dawned on me--THERE IS NO CONNECTION!" Anyone who reads this book will realize that a few days, weeks, or months in a country will reveal theemptiness of simplistic descriptions of complex situations foisted on us by our political leaders. By all means, read this book for its humanity and its humor, but remember it for its honesty and insight.
I purchased this book on a whim, mostly because I was fasinated with what sort of bizarre place North Korea is like. I must say, Scott seems to give a fairly honest account of the people (what few he could talk to) live and what a total personality cult state North Korea is. I did wish for a little more detail about the little things in the country in general, but keep in mind he probably wasn't thinking of a book when he made that trip, so I'll cut him some slack. It certainly had enough detail to make for a good read.That being said, the section on Iran was also great, and the most detaile of all the three 'axis' countries. His experience mirrors what I hear from most westerners in Iran, that the people are pretty friendly and tend to seperate the US govt. from the average US citizen. Scott also manages to tell the story at face value (heck, I wasn't there so I don't know that for sure, but he gives that impression).Even the section on Iraq was decent, although the weakest of the three mainly because he didn't venture out into much of the war zone and into the real country. Can't say I blame him, but in a book that explores the countries of places the average US citizen can't get a handle on, it does contrast. That being said, it was ceratinly an amusing look into the cluster-youknowwhat that is the US buerrocracy in all its forms, be it military and civilian.Overall, I was impressed with the book and would recommend it. The North Korea and Iran sections are worth it alone to me, while the Iraq section is an amusing little extra, that does round out the 'axis.' The other refreshing thing about the book was that you didn't get any sort of over the top politicizing. Sure, there were instances where you could feel his political slant a little, but it was farily subtle and not preachy at all, which I find refreshing.
In another writer's hands this would have been a fantastic book. To visit the three nations (North Korea, Iran and Iraq) George Bush dubbed the Axis of Evil is a brilliant idea. The problem is the entire book is just observations with no analysis, insight or most of all humor.Also, I don't know if it's just the Kindle version I read it off of but the photos were not sharp at all. They all looked like they were shot on grey days with haze across the foreground.Anyway, it did not cost me a bundle so for US$2.99, it is worth getting the Kindle version as there is enough info in it to make it somewhat interesting. It just wasn't enough to raise this to the 4- or 5-star level.
