From car bombings, to meeting Yasser Arafat, from Afghanistan to Melbourne and the top of Everest, to Athens, to Palestine and back to Timor Leste, Mark Squirrell has experienced more than many can dream about. From Arafat to Everest details his time spent in Australia and overseas working for aid organisations and raising awareness for the promotion of peace between all nations, and the eradication of poverty. His stories are fascinating, adventurous, dangerous and action packed, but deep down tell the story of a world in turmoil searching for peace.
