Paul Clammer bringt eine einzigartige Perspektive in seine Reiseberichte ein, die von vielfältigen früheren Erfahrungen als Molekularbiologe und Reiseleiter geprägt ist. Seine Arbeit für Lonely Planet führt ihn in anspruchsvolle und weniger bereiste Destinationen, darunter Länder wie Afghanistan, Haiti, Nigeria und Pakistan. Obwohl er behauptet, sich einfacheren Orten widmen zu wollen, treibt ihn sein abenteuerlicher Geist beständig dazu an, die unerschrockeneren Pfade der Welt zu erkunden und ihre Geschichten zu erzählen.
Marokko legte auf dem Weg ins 21. Jahrhundert eine sehr verhaltene Gangart an den Tag. Grund dafür ist der ehrgeizige Versuch, die Globalisierung willkommen zu heißen, ohne die tiefen traditionellen Wurzeln der Nation zu kappen.

"Sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, Haiti is culturally the most African of Caribbean countries, and one that is largely unknown to visitors, except through popular cliches of aid dependency and Vodou culture. This is the only stand-alone guidebook on Haiti on the market and is packed with practical information covering accommodation, eateries, travel routes, wildlife and vodou. A comprehensive section on birdwatching and insightful information on Haiti's rich artistic and musical heritage ensure the guide appeals to both birdwatchers and cultural enthusiasts. Paul Clammer discusses the medicinal merits of Haitian rum, how to catch a Port-au-Prince taptap (bus) and how to check into the Graham Greene suite of the Hotel Oloffson."--Publisher description
How did a Caribbean child, born into plantation slavery, come to defeat Napoleon's armies in battle and crown himself king of the first free black nation in the Americas? This is the story of Henry Christophe: one of the most remarkable, yet least known, figures from the Age of Revolution. Christophe fought as a child soldier in the American War of Independence, before rising to prominence during the Haitian Revolution as one of Toussaint Louverture's top generals, commanding troops against Bonaparte's invasion. Following Haitian independence, Christophe's ambition for rule helped plunge the country into civil war. He crowned himself King Henry I of Haiti, and his attempts to build a modern black state won the support of leading British abolitionists. Christophe saw himself as an Enlightenment ruler, and his kingdom produced great literary works, epic fortresses and opulent palaces. But while he was a proud anti-imperialist and fought off French plots against him, the Haitian people chafed under his rule. After ten years on the throne, he committed suicide rather than face being overthrown. Christophe's mountaintop Citadelle still stands, as Haiti's sole World Heritage site-a monument to a revolutionary black monarchy, in a world of empire and slavery.
