My paper is focusing on terrorism and war in the Himalayas and their effects on mountaineering and other tourism in these areas. My personal favorite source is the book that Greg Child wrote about the 1999 Kidnapping of Americans in Kyrgyzstan. It allows for a turning point and the main focus of the paper and shows how islamic terrorism directly affects mountaineering and climbing.
