Wilfred Thesiger
The Marsh Arabs
New York: Dutton, 1964
First printing
An immaculate copy of Thesiger's celebrated portrait of a disappearing civilization, in the Tigris and Euphrates river worlds of medieval Iraq.
In later years, these ancient peoples would become the victims of marsh drainage and the madness of Saddam Hussein, but in this haunting narrative, illustrated by his own photographs, Thesiger traveled among the islands, with an unprecedented sympathy andenthusiasm.
