Wheeler, founder of the Lonely Planet, recounts his tourist experiences in countries known in the group "axis of evil," including Afghanistan, Albania, Burma, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Libya, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia. He examines what gives the country that label, describing its history and politics, as well as geographic and cultural landmarks and places to see, stay, and avoid. Countries were chosen based on its treatment citizens, its involvement in terrorism, and whether it is a threat, and he ends with a chapter scoring each.
