A Tourist in the Arab Spring

When Gaddafi fell, North Africa opened up. "Lost in Libya" is a view from the ground of the effects of the Arab Spring based on a journey across Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt, all of which have been given a new lease of life. Humorous throughout, Chesshyre entertains readers with descriptions of misunderstandings with Tunisian police, revolutionaries celebrating with gunshots, dealing with corrupt border officials, avoiding hustlers, being temporarily abducted in Libya, and hold-ups in convoys. He also talks about Libyan tourist sites that few people have seen for years plus new "attractions" such as Gaddafi's bombed out bunker headquarters in Tripoli.
