About this listen

Available for the first time in audio, Steve Coll's trek across a socially and politically damaged South Asia.

Best-selling author Steve Coll is one of the preeminent journalists of the 21st century. His last two books, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Ghost Wars and New York Times best-seller The Bin Ladens, have been praised for their creative insight and complex yet compelling narratives - and have put him on par with journalists such as the legendary Bob Woodward. Now, for the first time ever, the audio edition of On the Grand Trunk Road is finally available, revised and updated with new material. Focusing on Coll's journeys in conflict-ridden India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Afghanistan as a bureau chief for The Washington Post, On the Grand Trunk Road reveals a little-seen area of the world where violence, corruption, and greed have had devastating effects on South Asians from all walks of life.

Most relevant  
It is a good historical anecdote of the Indian Subcontinent. Narration is the worst part of this book. The narrator doesn't know how to pronounce many people names and place names properly. The epilogue covers Pakistan only and nothing about the other countries.
