My Kenya Days de Wilfred Thesiger
Thesiger is one of my heroes. This is perhaps his most personal book. I remain very much in awe of his life and travels.
I really loved reading it. Having seen Lawrence of Arabia helps with visualizing the vast empty expanses Thesiger is traversing in the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia.
