Wilfred Thesiger: The Life of The Great Explorer

A legend in his own lifetime, the explorer and traveller Wilfred Thesiger journeyed for 60 years in some of the remotest most dangerous places on Earth. His books are widely acclaimed, yet his character and motivations have remained an enigma.Maitland was Thesiger`s close friend and literary executor, and this biography which had Thesiger`s support before he died in 2003, has been written with exclusive access to the rich Thesiger archive – vivid, intimate family correspondence and his own letters, diaries and notebooks which are far more confiding than his scrupulously edited published accounts.
