Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before
Tony Horwitz

Picador, 2003

Another good read
While this is one of his earlier books, i just discovered this author and love his interplay of current experience and history. As in his other works, a new level of understanding emerges about the earliest interplay of European contact with the native peoples and, ...
  
  











  



  
South Sea Tales (Modern Library Classics)
Jack London

Modern Library, 2002

Terrific Collection
London does not disappoint in this collection. His observations are as sound today as they were in his time. It was fascinating to see that London even experimented with science fiction in his story the Red One. Sean O'Reilly Editor-at-large Travelers' Tales ...
  
  











  



  
Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War
Tony Horwitz

Vintage, 1999

Fun, fair & worth every penny
As will be the case with all my reviews, I'm going to record my reaction to the book, not summarize it. If you want to know what the book is all about, read a few of the longer reviews (which, at the time of this writing, numbered about 250.) Or better yet, buy it; ...
  
  











  



  
Baghdad without a Map and Other Misadventures in Arabia
Tony Horwitz

Plume, 1992

You'll embarrass yourself reading this.
This may be the best travelouge I've ever read. Horwitz has an uncanny ability with words, to paint the scene and make the reader feel like they are there with him. I felt myself transported back to the countries I have visited, and can affirm that they were ...
  
  











  



  
A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World
Tony Horwitz

Henry Holt and Co., 2008

A fun way to learn America's "true" origin
The "truth" about America's origins is uncovered in interesting storytelling fashion. At times it reads like page turner. It might broaden a reader's viewpoint but it will make "little difference", because "...Myths didn't just trump fact; they helped create it." If ...
  
  











  



  
One for the Road: Revised Edition
Tony Horwitz

Vintage, 1999

I want to buy Tony a beer...if he still needs one.
As another American who lived in Australia for many years, let me assure any prospective buyer of this book that the author really gets the place. He started out like many, seduced by life in megalopolitan Sydney, thinking that the superficial similarites between ...
  
  











  



  
The Devil May Care: 50 Intrepid Americans and Their Quest for the Unknown

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Just OK
I am a big fan of Tony Horwitz's work. Confederates in the Attic may be one of my all time favorite books. Having said that, I would not recommend this book. He did not write this book, and that is clear from the first page! This book is really quite dry. It reads ...

The neglected story of America's founding by Europeans. Horwitz begins 1,000 years ago with the Vikings, throughout the French voyageurs, Moorish slaves, long before the Mayflower landed. He rediscovers the new world.

Into the Blue: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before
Tony Horwitz
