In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, war reporters rushed to publish accounts of the uprising. Tom Chesshyre took a different approach - he jumped on a plane and became the first to return to the region as a tourist. The result is the fascinating, street-level tale of a journey through lands fresh from revolution – Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. Chesshyre heads for tourist sites that few have seen in recent years, as well as new 'attractions' like Gaddafi's bombed-out bunker in Tripoli. In a book both touching and humorous, he describes being abducted in Libya, listening to the sound of Kalashnikovs at night and talking to ordinary people struggling to get by. On the second anniversary of the Arab Spring, this is the ideal time for this book.

Pressestimmen
'Account of a trip through freshly revolutionised parts of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia paints the region as one of the most fascinating on Earth.' Time Out 'A fascinating, often humurous, insight into a world in the midst of revolution.' Food & Travel 'With no brief other than curiosity, and equipped with nothing more than courage and compassion, he discovered that word of mouth was his best entry visa into the confidence of people whose lives had been so disrupted.' The Times 'A good read about not quite 'wish you were here' territory... yet.' Wanderlust 'The author is honest to admit he hasn't a clue, but his journey across these lands has the freshness of someone who hasn't just read the newspapers, but has been there and talked to the people, none of whom have a clue either.' Good Book Guide 'The result is the fascinating, street-level tale of a lay traveller's journey through lands fresh from revolution.' The Middle East
