From \u003cem\u003eLawrence of Arabia\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eCharlie Wilson's War\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the height of World War II, two U.S. military intelligence officers meet near the Khyber Pass with a British agent. Their secret mission: To travel from Peshawar for 800 miles along the Indian-Afghan border, and thus to introduce America to the Great Game of Central Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis movie script is a documentary, based on the book, \u003cem\u003eProceed to Peshawar\u003c\/em\u003e. The Introduction tells of the evolution of this script from its beginning as a semi-fictional movie, \u003cem\u003eKhyber Pass\u003c\/em\u003e, to the true story of \u003cem\u003eThree Men in a Jeep\u003c\/em\u003e. The three men are sent with secret orders to travel from Peshawar, near the Khyber Pass, to Chitral and Quetta. Their trip takes them along the border of Afghanistan and India -- now Pakistan. They are to learn how the British are keeping peace along the border. And with verbal, unwritten orders, they are to look for Soviet spies. This trip was the moment when the U.S. secretly entered the centuries-old contest known as the \"Great Game\" between Russia and Britain. They must learn about the ancient tribal customs, known as Pashtunwali. They must evade danger on mountain roads that are little more than donkey trails, with bandits on both sides, random crossfire by rifles and mortars, and bombs that drop \"harmlessly, but with good moral effect.\" They pass into the distant land of the Mehtar of Chitral, and they go to villages such as Miram Shah in Waziristan that are now totally off limits to Americans. They are the first ever to cross the Lowari Pass in a motor vehicle. They visit Mingora in Swat, where the fourteen-year-old Nobel Prize winner, Malala, was shot in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Preface tells, in simple steps, how to use this book to make a movie from it. The Prologue tells of the people who have already helped to turn \u003cem\u003eProceed to Peshawar\u003c\/em\u003e into a movie. You will read of Harvey Rochman, whose idea it was to make \u003cem\u003eKhyber Pass\u003c\/em\u003e, and of the help given by Ed Asner, Kevin Connor, and Howard Kazanjian. The story then moves to Hollywood, where advice is given by Jonathan Sanger, Galen Walker, and Jim Steele. But \u003cem\u003eKhyber Pass\u003c\/em\u003e was not made into a movie. It was a wonderful project, but it lacked funding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plan for a movie then changed to become a documentary film, \u003cem\u003eThree Men in a Jeep\u003c\/em\u003e. It would still be a big project, but it could have a much smaller budget. Read it, and try it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 08, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53274540933427,"sku":"9780788458477","price":44.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/kbjLqFmDDG9780788458477.webp?v=1776896469","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/three-men-in-a-jeep-called-ma-kabul-script-for-a-movie-a-true-story-of-high-adventure-by-three-allied-intelligence-officers-in-world-war-ii-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
