Book Reviews of My Life and Travels: An Anthology

Book Review: A great book
Summary: 5 Stars

Wilfred Thesiger was one of the great explorers of the age of the British Empire, perhaps the last great explorer. This book is a great collection of the most interesting articles describing his travels in Imperial Ethiopia, Darfur, the Sahel, Arabia, Kurdistan, the Hindu Kush and more, that will delight the reader who doesn't have the time to read the books from which the articles are excerpted.

I highly recommend it, but not as a substitute for the books in full.
