<p>Overtaken By Events: A Pakistan Road Trip is the account of Ethan Casey's journey, entirely overland, starting in Mumbai, India - just three months after the November 2008 terrorist siege of that city - and ending six weeks later in Karachi, Pakistan. Beautifully illustrated by 32 pages of photographs by Pete Sabo, the book documents the human dimension of Pakistanis' experience of contemporary history since 2004. Updating the story told in Casey's acclaimed travel book Alive and Well in Pakistan (2004), Overtaken By Events humanizes Pakistan and Pakistains for a volatile period in a chronically volatile country, from the shocking assassination of Benazir Bhutto to the heartening "lawyers' movement" for the restoration of an independent judiciary. It also offers Indian views of Pakistan and glimpses of the situation of Muslims in India. The title says it all. As Emma Duncan observed two decades ago in Breaking the Curfew, "Nothing is settled in Pakistan...Every small event may hold the key to denouement." Overtaken By Events is a unique record of an action-packed time and place, written in graceful and entertaining prose.</p>

In September 2012, author Ethan Casey rented a car in Seattle and drove east. It was the start of a 3 ½-month, 18,000-mile adventure that took him through every region of the contiguous United States. The drive, during and just after the 2012 presidential election, allowed Ethan to see firsthand the country's current political and social landscape and to meet and listen to a wide variety of Americans. Ethan's book holds up a mirror to 21st-century America in the tradition of travelogues like Travels with Charley (1962) by John Steinbeck, Blue Highways (1982) by William Least Heat-Moon, and The Air-Conditioned Nightmare (1945) by Henry Miller.

"Ethan Casey is a listener: someone who asks the good questions and then steps back and gives people space to answer. He listened hard and well in his books on Haiti and Pakistan. Now he's listening to an America that's dealing with uncertainty, division, and change, but where Casey still finds reasons for hope in the strengths of the widely varied people he meets." - Paul Rogat Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen: Living with Conviction in Challenging Times
