In Xanadu: A Quest by William Dalrymple 2 of 5 stars
In this book the author retraces Marco Polo's journey from Italy to China. There are a few interesting moments, but mostly it is a difficult journey filled with one hardship after another. It could be used for a number of countries, but I chose Pakistan because they seemed to have spent more time there.
