Robert Young Pelton, author of the notorious travel guide “The World’s Most Dangerous Places,” goes where the action is, and that means he’s been spending a lot of time in the Middle East. Mark Scheffler, who recently interviewed Pelton for Salon, calls Pelton a “sort of anti-travel writer.” Pelton just calls himself a writer. The interview touches on his “anti-travel” writing, but mostly covers U.S. military actions and lazy war correspondents.
