This book is travelogue/ research paper of Tim Severin and his 02 fellows on the tracks that Marco Polo covered in his world travel. They went to all those places that were visited by Marco Polo and Marco Polo mentioned these places in his travel accounts. They traced all those places as well as articles that have been recorded by Marco Polo. Unfortunately they could not visit China. However, the account is quite interesting and informative regarding Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I personally like the segment that describes the Fake Paradise established by Hassan Bin Sabbah who first time used suicide bombers to assassinate head of the states.
