Book Reviews of the Arabian Sands (Penguin Classics)
Customer Review: Interesting and readable account of a lost world
Summary: 4 Stars
Thesiger's background and his detestation of the modern world (just after the end of the Second World War) made him uniquely suited to live and travel with the Bedu. It is astonishing that so few Westerners should have traveled to some of the places that Thesiger visited, until one reads of the difficulties that he had to overcome. I found his book to be a thoroughly enjoyable description of a fascinating people and an intruiging part of the world.
