More Details
This is a very detailed account of a man's lonely journey around the world in a Series I Land Rover. Townsend takes us from the initial preparations for his year-long trip to the odd scenes of crossing endless deserts in the dead of night with not a soul around for hundreds of miles, to housewives mockingly examining his dusty Land Rover at a stoplight somewhere in the American south, casually unaware of monumental accomplishment taking place right in front of their eyes. Along the way, Townsend relates in vivid detail the beauty of the places and the people he encounters, and the politics and the events of the 1950s world, as he sees them from behind the wheel of his trusty friend. Earth My Friend may be rather hard to find these days, but well worth the effort if you do locate it. For anyone with even the slightest hint of love for adventure, I highly recommend reading this book.
