In this companion book to the PBS special Morocco: Quest for the Kasbah, renowned explorer and Adventures with Purpose host Richard Bangs explores the concept of the Kasbah—a fortress, a safe haven, and a place to exchange ideas with people from many different backgrounds. Bangs takes us on an insightful journey to beautiful Morocco, sharing his stories, adventures and reflections on why he felt "knocked over with a feeling of being a part of something remarkable and deeply human." Along the way, readers will discover what the modern Kasbah might represent for all of us in today’s fast-paced world: "a place secure in identity and thus unthreatened by those of different creed or kin."
Foreword by Peter Greenberg of NBC's Today Show, and featuring an 8-page color photo insert.
