A well-researched, detailed account of exploration of the Libyan desert in the 1920s and 1930s -- and the subsequent Long Range Desert Group. The book (by a specialist in the Great Powers in North Africa) tackles the rivalry between British desert explorer Ralph Bagnold and Hungarian Count Ladislaus Almasy (who was featured in The English Patient).
