In this entertaining and thought-provoking travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep the enmity really is between these three \"tiger\" nations and what prevents them from making peace. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train, and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past crimes, continues to overshadow present relationships.
