a| Dom Joly has always been fascinated by travel to strange places. His childhood in war-torn Lebanon, punctuated by sheltering in the basement under Syrian rocket attack or coming across a pile of severed heads from a sectarian execution in the forest, left him with a profound loathing for the sanitized experiences of the modern day travel industry and a taste for the darkest of destinations. In this brilliantly odd and hilariously told travel memoir, Dom sets out on a quest to visit those destinations from which the average tourist would, and should, run a mil. He skis on segregated slops 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.
