London: Longmans, 1964.. First edition, 8vo, (xvi), 242 pp. Frontispiece and 109 photographic illustrations, signed by the author on the title page. Cloth, d.w., some minor rubbing otherwise an excellent copy. A classic work on the now displaced peoples of the marshes of Iraq, where the Tigris and Euphrates meet.
