Journey from Banna: My Life, Times, and Adventures

In Journey from Banna, Gordon Young applies his stellar storytelling skills to now share tales from his own life of almost forty years in Asia, often in remote places that few tourists ever reach even today. Packed with rare photos, Young’s memoirs richly describe the places, people, wildlife and world circumstances he encountered. Author of two recent titles related to Thailand—The Wind Will Yet Sing (a novel) and Run for the Mountains (a biography)—Young’s autobiography leads readers from his birthplace in the tiny village of Banna, China to the far flung wilderness and the bustling cities of old Burma, India, Thailand, Korea, Laos, and Vietnam. With the world stage set by World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars, Young’s exciting, humorous, informative and often poignant tales hold ample historical importance as much as they offer a great read.
