Holidays in Heck takes the reader on a globe-trotting journey to
far-reaching places including China, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and
the Galapagos Islands. The collection begins after the Iraq War,
when P.J. retired from being a war correspondent because he was
"too old to keep being scared stiff and too stiff to keep sleeping
on the ground." Instead he embarked on supposedly more comfortable
and allegedly less dangerous travels - often with family in tow -
which mostly left him wishing he were under artillery fire again.
The result is a hilarious and oftentimes moving portrait of life in
the fast lane - only this time as a husband and father of three.
Adventures include: - The first stag hunt in Britain after hunting
had been banned. If the British had been half as caring about
Indians and American colonists as they are about animals, they'd
still rule the world. - A month-long tour of mainland China's
economic hubs where P.J. learned that the entire Chinese concept of
political freedom and individual liberty can be summed up in the
words, 'New Buick'. - A harrowing horseback ride across the
mountains of Kyrgyzstan - no towns, no roads, no people. "If
something happened to my horse it would be shot. For me, the
medical treatment wouldn't be that sophisticated."
