Product Description<p>Available for the first time in paperback, Steve Coll's trek across a socially and politically damaged South Asia </p><p>Bestselling author Steve Coll is one of the preeminent journalists of the twenty-first century. His last two books, the Pulitzer Prize-winning <em>Ghost Wars</em> and <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The Bin Ladens</em>, have been praised for their creative insight and complex yet compelling narratives-and have put him on par with journalists such as the legendary Bob Woodward.

Focusing on Coll's journeys in conflict-ridden India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Afghanistan as a bureau chief for <em>The Washington Post, On the Grand Trunk Road</em> reveals a little-seen area of the world where violence, corruption, and greed have had devastating effects on South Asians from all walks of life. </p>About the Author<p>Steve Coll is the author of <em>The New York Times</em> bestseller <em>Ghost Wars</em>.
