Product Description
Product Description
Richard Loseby's first book, Blue is the Colour of Heaven, an astonishing account of his journey by foot through Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, was a gripping of his trip and the war torn countries he visited. Unbelievably, in November 2002 Richard decided to take a break from the constraints of mortgage and family and return to Iran and Afghanistan in search of his friends Karim and Nebi - Nebi's last words to him were 'come back soon Massoud' - a journey few would even contemplate. He travelled light, without the trappings of modern travel, except for his old Pentax camera, a notepad and a good pair of boots. What had happened to his friends in the intervening years? They were fighting a war with a common enemy - were they still alive? Part travelogue, part personal quest, and part mystery, Richard once again reveals his brilliance as a writer, storyteller and photographer.

Format:Paperback
Where to begin...The author has clearly matured and the book demonstrates a greater understanding of the meaning of brotherhood and loyalty as he searches for the man who saved his life. The book is a captivating and thought provoking read and offers a different dimension to other recent books about the middle east. If you are yet to read this book then do - you will struggle to put it down.

Heroic story of the search for a father
2 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
Read together with Richard's first book "Blue is the colour of Heaven", this story is almost mythical in its proportions, and heart-rending in its power. In this second instalment of Loseby's search for his father among the troubled lands of the Middle East, he returns to find the man who saved his life, and guided him through war-torn Afghanistan. Loseby's trip brings him face to face with another man's search for his own father, and it is not until the last chapter this inspirational story's climax is reached, and the extraordinary purpose behind Loseby's search is revealed.
