Sobre este artículo
New York: E.P. Dutton, 1959. First American edition. Illustrated with photographs and maps (one fold-out at the end). xvi, 326pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Blue cloth and boards. Near fine in good yellow pictorial dust-jacket (unclipped, top of spine panel chipped, spine panel sunned and rubbed with loss to lettering). First American edition. Illustrated with photographs and maps (one fold-out at the end). xvi, 326pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Arabian Sands is Thesiger's first and most important work, recounting his crossing of the Empty Quarter under the aegis of the Middle East Anti-Locust Unit in 1946-7. Although brief reports of the journey were published in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society in the late 1940s, it was only through the efforts of his friend Graham Watson and the publisher Mark Longman that Thesiger was persuaded to write a book-length account.
