A travelogue of Waugh's travel adventures: a journey by sea throughout the eastern Mediterranean; a wry account of an impulsive visit to Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) to witness the coronation of Haile Selassie; travels in Aden and East Africa and the crossing of Belgian Congo; British Guiana (Guayana) and Brazil; and a return to Abyssinia as a war correspondent in response to the war with Mussolini's Italy. His misadventures as a correspondent also formed the basis for his comic 1938 satiric novel Scoop.
