By Jim Rogers
B.O.T. Editorial Review
It's the ultimate road
trip. Legendary investor Jim Rogers and his fiancee travel to 116 countries in
a custom-built four-wheel-drive bright yellow Mercedes. Over three years, they
make their way through war zones, are guarded by military convoys, observe a 50
million-person pilgrimage, eat disgusting food, put the car on barges for
transport
between countries, and
have their lives threatened at every turn. As well as describing his
adventures, Rogers has plenty to say about the economies and roads he
encounters on his journey. (Naturally, he's driven on the best roads and the
worst.) With his keen financial acumen, he picks out those countries with the
highest prospective economic
success and which ones are
headed for disaster. All in all, a wonderful
trip.
"If Warren Buffett
and Bill Bryson were trapped in a car with each other
for three years, they might
write like Jim Rogers." (B.O.T Editorial
