Educated at Eton and Oxford, Thesiger was repulsed by the softness and rigidity of Western life—\"the machines, the calling cards, the meticulously aligned streets.\" In the spirit of T. E. Lawrence, he set out to explore the deserts of Arabia, traveling among peoples who had never seen a European and considered it their duty to kill Christian infidels. His now-classic account is invaluable to understanding the modern Middle East.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0141442077\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0141442077.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Thesiger, Wilfred|Stewart, Rory\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in acceptable condition.
