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.

the idiotic South Asian accent the narrator uses often is absolutely disgusting and utterly racist.
this is Steve Coll's second audio I am listening to and both had funny accent. I am pained and at the same time disgusted to know having lived in india for a bit, Steve couldn't get rid of his biases
