One of the best travelogues I've read recently is the harrowing chronicle of Rory Stewart's walk across Afghanistan shortly after the U.S. invaded and occupied the country in 2002. It is a fascinating account, if not rather bleak at times.
The Rory Stewart book that I've mentioned is The Places in Between
