Balochistan
At a Crossroads
- Travel across the backcountry of Balochistan, a landscape that is endlessly beautiful, remote and empty
- Wonderfully descriptive text and photographs make for a memorable journey through this largely forgotten province of Pakistan
A fascinating account of British reporter Willem Marx’s travels in Balochistan; a forbidding, forbidden and largely forgotten province of Pakistan that is currently immersed in civil conflict. French photojournalist Marc Wattrelot has captured some spectacular images during his weeks spent in this little-known corner of the world. This book presents many aspects of Balochistan – its past and present, its people and landscape.
An amazing insight into this formidable region that is rarely seen by the outside world; a remote territory, this account gives a new perspective on a harsh and unforgiving landscape and the people who call it home.
Lyrical travel writing and hard-hitting reportage from the remote border region where Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan all meet – one of the last truly unexplored frontiers for Western journalism.
Powerful accompanying photographs showcase this rugged, dangerous but beautiful landscape and the struggles of a poorly understood people – the Baloch – desperate to maintain their own national identity.
