We can't understand our world without experiencing it. Travel as a Political Act helps us take that first step. In his new book, acclaimed travel writer Rick Steves explains how to travel more thoughtfully—to any destination. He shares a series of field reports from Europe, Central America, Asia and the Middle East to show how his travels have shaped his politics and broadened his perspective. More
