The dark tourist

"Ever since he can remember, Dom Joly has been fascinated by travel to odd places. In part this stems from a childhood spent in war-torn Lebanon. Dom's upbringing was interspersed with terrifying days and nights spent hunkered in thr family basement under Syrian rocket attack or coming across a pile of severed heards from a sectarian execution in the pine forests near his home. These experiences left Dom with a profound loathing of the modern day travel industry and a taste for the darkest of places. We follow him as he skis on segregated slopes in Iran, spends a weekend in Chernobyl, paintballs with Hezbollah and attempts to purchase Pol Pot's shoes in Cambodia - oh ... and he tries to find out more about his schooldays with Osama bin Laden."--Back cover.
