The Sheltering Desert tells the story of two German geologists,
Henno Martin and Hermann Korn, who were sent to the former South
West Africa in 1935 to do research on the Naukluft. After the
outbreak of the Second World War, they chose to live and survive
like Bushmen in the Namib Desert rather than face internment for
the duration of the war.

This is a wonderful story! Full of innovation, interest and well written. Especially for Namibians or south Africans it is a gripping tale. Couldn't put it down.
