Description: From car bombings, to meeting Yasser Arafat, from Afghanistan to Melbourne and the top of Everest, to Athens, to Palestine and back to Timor Leste, Mark Squirrell has experienced more than many can dream about. This book details his time spent in Australia and overseas working for aid organisations and raising awareness for the promotion of peace between all nations, and the eradication of poverty. His stories are fascinating, adventurous, dangerous and action-packed, but deep down tell the story of a world in turmoil searching for peace.
Notes: Cover subtitle: How surviving war zones inspired a climb to the top of the world.
