You've heard about the man who walked across Afghanistan relying on the kindness of strangers. Now read his story.

Stewart began his journeyin in January 2002. Along the way he met heroes and rogues, tribal elders and teenage soldiers, Taliban commanders and foreign-aid workers.

Through these encounters Stewart makes tangible the forces of tradition, ideology, and allegiance that shape life in the map's countless places in between.
