Michael J. Totten writes from Beirut:
My first person account of hanging out in the Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya the most oppressive country in the world after North Korea - has been published by the LA Weekly: “In the Land of the Brother Leader.”I don’t know if this is the best thing I’ve ever written, but it’s certainly my favorite. Can you please direct your readers to this one? I don’t think they’ll be mad at you for it.
Cheers,
Michael J. Totten
Beirut, Lebanon
The article’s subhead suggests that the article reads a little like a lost chapter from P.J. O’Rourke’s Holidays in Hell: “Vacation in Libya? Totalitarian tourism and the search for truth…and a good meal.” Please check it out — and be sure not to miss the accompanying photos, including the one of Totten with “Brother Leader.”
