| book description |

Wilfred Thesiger, the last of the great gentlemen explorer-adventurers, became a legend in his own lifetime. This authorised biography by a longstanding friend and associate delves into his little-known character and motivations, as well as recounting the details of his extraordinary life. Wilfred Thesiger, the great explorer-adventurer and author of â€˜Arabian Sandsâ€™ and â€˜The Marsh Arabsâ€™, and one work of autobiography â€˜The Life of my Choiceâ€™, became a legend in his own lifetime, but his character and motivations have remained an intriguing enigma. In this authorised biography â€“ written with Thesigerâ€™s support before he died in 2003 and with unique access to the rich Thesiger archive â€“ Alexander Maitland investigates this fascinating figureâ€™s family influences, his wartime experiences, his philosophy as a hunter and conservationist, his writing and photography, his friendships with Arabs and Africans amongst whom he lived, and his now-acknowledged homosexuality.
