Marching Powder
Auto/biographical

  • Blood on my Hands: A Surgeon At War, Craig Jurisevic
  • Way of Stars and Stones: Thoughts on a Pilgrimmage, Wilna Wilkinson
  • Marching Powder, Rusty Young*
Rusty Young was on a backpacking holiday in South America when he heard about Thomas McFadden, an English drug smuggler giving guided tours of his Bolivian prison, San Pedro. Intrigued, the twenty-something Australian lawyer travelled to La Paz and joined one of Thomas's illegal tours. What followed took both men by surprise: a friendship formed and Rusty bribed the prison guards to allow him to stay. Over the next three months he shared a cell with Thomas, experiencing life in San Pedro first-hand, and recording one of the most shocking and compelling prison stories of all time.
