The Silk Road and Beyond

Ever wanted to sit in the driver's seat of a long-distance truck driving through the Middle East in the 1970s? Author and pioneer trucker Ivor Whittall will take readers on a journey as he recounts his own true tales of his adventurous career, from Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, to the infamously treacherous and sometimes deadly Tahir Pass in Eastern Turkey that has claimed the lives of truckers with its haphazard landslides and avalanches and tricky mountainous terrain. Ride alongside Whittall as he recalls moments of disastrous near misses, mechanical failures, intense home sickness, border control mishaps, and so much more!
