In this memoir, Irwin looks back on his 1960s exploration of Algiers and Algeria, where he encountered a world of marvels and ecstasy, converted to Islam and received initiation as a faqir. He contrasts the contexts of England (the new culture and the hippy trail) with those of Algeria (bombs and guns and mysticism).
