'A succinct and successful summary of the past, present and future of this surprisingly busy desert.'--Michael Palin 'A wonderful book that is as rich as the Sahara is austere; educational, informative and inspiring.'--Tim Butcher, author of Blood River and Chasing the Devil 'A painstaking study of a remarkable terrain and its equally extraordinary inhabitants.'--Mick Herron, Geographical Magazine 'With the 'Arab Spring' affecting much of North Africa, this book provides a very useful introduction to exactly how the region has reached its present situation.' --Dr Trevor James, Historical Association 'The enormous research that must have been undertaken to compile such a work is a great credit to Eamonn Gearon. It is a well written book that armchair and desert travellers will appreciate. Explorers should certainly have a copy in their libraries.'--Col. John Blashford-Snell, OBE, President of the Scientific Exploration Society
