Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Pelton literally wrote the book on dangerous places—his 'The World's Most Dangerous Places' has been continuously updated since 1994.

Cultural

The 'White Army' name comes from Nuer fighters using white ash for insect repellent and intimidation, not skin color—a nuance mostly lost in Western coverage.
