Summary: Miller tells it like it is in Eastern Europe
Review: Terrific! What a great book. All the elements of an exotic Paul Theroux travel adventure, combined with the High Noon suspense of a race against the clock, with plenty of chuckles along the way. Miller's experience and characters are convincing proof to me that what I'm living here in the Czech Republic is not just some weird, time-warped dream. Anyone coming to Central Europe had better read it, and anyone who's been here will enjoy it. Also, as someone approaching retirement, I was completely unaware of the activities of the International Executive Service Corps and will certainly keep it in mind as a productive alternative to golf. An entertaining and informative read. A masterful job.
