She then journeyed to Afghanistan and Iraq -- where she mingled with tense Iraqis, watching the gathering storm clouds of an American-led invasion -- as well as Iran, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, China, and Vietnam.Whether she's writing about being served goat's head in a Kyrgyz yurt, checking out bowling alleys in Baghdad, or trying to cook a chicken in a crumbling apartment, Burkett offers an eclectic series of adventures that are alternately comical, poignant, and discomfiting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51599026389280,"sku":"NEW006052443X","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71eC0pb0tTL_d784264c-2d3d-45e5-a9de-f6b3c0bf1d6b.jpg?v=1779210000","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/so-many-enemies-so-little-time-an-american-woman-in-all-the-wrong-places-006052443x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
