The Carpet Wars – Christopher Kremmer

If you have any interest in the people, politics and history of Pakistan/Afghanistan/Iran/Iraq, or indeed of “Persian Rugs”, then Christopher Kremmer’s account of a decade long love affair with the region, its rugs and its people is a must-read.

A fantastic book – and a perfect read on long bus journey around Iran, with a bunch of people that included some fellow travellers to the Hindu Kush and the Khyber Pass.
