Wilfred Thesiger in Africa

Alexander Maitland’s Wilfred Thesiger in Africa is a unique hardback collection of essays and personal photographs of the explorer on what was known in his time as the ‘Dark Continent’. The book is a worthy testament to an exceptional life – and as an authorised biography it is also the last cry of Thesiger himself, someone who vividly evoked complete worlds of brutal majesty from bygone eras and dying cultures.
