Will Lawson
Will Lawson currently divides his time between Edinburgh and London. He is in the midst of a post-graduate degree.
‘Funnier than P J O’Rourke but without the elaborate, self-satisfied sentences and political nihilism, Lawson actually understands his subject ... a blinding read, better than most pious travel writing’
The Herald
‘Acerbic and opinionated ... It might look like a complete piss-take, but it actually proves a surprisingly perceptive and practical guide for travellers who want to live a little without causing a diplomatic incident’
The Guardian
‘This guide makes a useful and entertaining read before a trip to the Middle East. But if you don’t want to be caught laughing out loud and uncontrollably on the plane, save yourself the embarrassment and read it at home’

No camels, no pyramids, no dodgy hotel addresses – just an acid take on the Middle East for the tourist whose brain doesn’t flatline the moment they step off an aeroplane.

Fourth Reich Lite: Defining the Borders of Invisible Wars
Funnier than P J O’Rourke - Angrier than Michael Moore - More global than Klein - More ‘What a fucking state we’re in’ ... than The State We’re In.
Take the basic premise of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: viz, as the Romans slid into decadence and self-absorption their ‘barbarian’ military auxiliaries and servants took gradual control of their Western Empire ...
And apply it to the blindness and indifference of the present western (essentially white) world.
