As a child in Abyssinia he watched the glorious armies of Ras
Tafari returning from hand-to-hand battle, their prisoners in
chains; at the age of 23 he made his first expedition into the
country of the Danakil, a murderous race among whom a man's status
in the tribe depended on the number of men he had killed and
castrated. His books, "Arabian Sands" and "The Marsh Arabs", tell
of his two sojourns in the Empty Quarter and the Marshes of
Southern Iraq. In this autobiography, Wilfred Thesiger highlights
the people who most profoundly influenced him and the events which
enabled him to lead the life of his choice.
