Tuva or Bust
Tuva or Bust!, by Ralph Leighton, is a book about the author and his friend
Richard Feynman's attempt to travel to
Tuva.
The introduction explains how Feynman challenged Leighton, at the time a high school geography teacher, 'Whatever happened to Tannu Tuva?' Since Feynman had a reputation as a prankster and had proven himself entirely capable of inventing a fictional country name to confound friends, Leighton assumed it was made up.
