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 where instead of swapping marbles in the schoolyard he had a shrapnel collection -- the schoolboy currency of Beirut. Doms upbringing was interspersed with terrifying days & nights spent hunkered in the family basement under Syrian rocket attack or coming across a pile of severed heads from a sectarian execution in the pine forests near his home. These early experiences left Dom with a profound loathing for the sanitized experiences of the modern day travel industry & a taste for the darkest of places. & in this brilliantly odd & hilariously told travel memoir Dom Joly sets out on a quest to visit those destinations from which the average tourist would & should run a mile.

Eventually Dom journeys back to his roots in Beirut only to discover he was at school with Osama Bin Laden.
