Embarking on a crazy adventure in 2019 driving from Singapore to London in a vintage Land Rover, the book recounts Bescoby’s defining trip of a lifetime, investigating how the world has changed since the First Overland, and exploring themes of family ties, post-colonialism and the Land Rover religion.

Praise for The Last Overland:

‘Set to become a classic of the genre. The Last Overland is an epic journey, epitomising the spirit of the great modern adventure.’ LEVISON WOOD

‘This is a fabulous adventure – reckless, insanely ambitious and filled with sweat, tears and laughter … irresistible reading. An immense challenge and a thrilling true story.’ JOANNA LUMLEY

‘Alex Bescoby weaves travel, adventure, history and the contemporary together like no one else. His great gift is to take us on a journey through past and present. By its end we have learned more about the world and ourselves.’ DAN SNOW

‘The First Overland was an amazing journey, underlining the fact that adventure is always out there for anybody who seeks it. This epic recreation of that trip shows us that whether you’re the first or the thousandth, the view from the mountaintop is just as incredible.’ TONY WHEELER, CO-FOUNDER OF LONELY PLANET

To buy a copy and hear more about the 13,000-mile adventure, come down to Mercer Walk in London.

Join Grammar Productions and special guests for a screening of the short film Forgotten Allies followed by a Q&A with award-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Bescoby.

Synopsis: 'In the darkest hours of World War Two, thousands of men from Burma (now Myanmar) gave their lives fighting a brutal war for Britain against the Japanese, and to carry out the most successful guerrilla campaign of the war. But after the Allied victory, Burma sank into isolation, dictatorship and civil war, and Britain forgot the bravery of these men. Now only a handful of veterans remain - will they get the recognition they deserve before it's too late? One determined band of Brits are in a battle against time to make sure they do.'

You can watch the film trailer here.

Forgotten Allies has a special connection to Norwich School via Old Norvicensian Hugh Seagrim, GC, DSO, MBE (24 March 1909 – 22 September 1944), a British Indian Army officer notable for his leadership of Karen rebels in fighting Japanese invaders in Burma during the Second World War. Seagrim’s valiant deeds form an integral part of the Forgotten Allies story.

The film screening will help raise money for Help 4 Forgotten Allies (H4FA), who provide financial and practical support to veterans of WWII living in Burma/Myanmar. H4FA is the chosen Seagrim House charity, with Housemaster Andrew Curtis serving as a trustee.
