I Nicked Brezhnev’s Brick

I Nicked Brezhnev’s Brick – Confessions of a Kiwi Backpacker is a journey of insight into the politics of hate and ideology, that are now in the dustbin of history but still chillingly relevant, as the stint on a Kibbutz on the volatile Lebanese border reveals. From chipping a brick out of the Kremlin wall under the very noses of patrolling Soviet guards to being shot by an Israeli army patrol as a suspected Palestinian terrorist on the Dead Sea. Being stoned by an incensed gang of Catholic youth in the streets of Northern Ireland’s Bogside, to seeing his local host being bayoneted to death on a dusty road in Bangladesh. Rob’s confessions are exploits covering four years of an odyssey to places round the globe.

All lessons should teach the individual some truth. I Nicked Brezhnev’s Brick – Confessions of a Kiwi Backpacker is about the ‘lessons of life’ the road teaches all that travel its path. A fast moving, action packed, and captivating read, as Rob relates stories of survival and succour along with insights into the planet Earth as it existed thirty odd years ago.
