"This excellent biography is in part a pilgrimage, performed by an admirer with a felicitous blend of reverence and wry skepticism and a marvelous ability to convey a sense of place." - Literary Review "Asher himself, a former SAS man, is one of the greatest living desert explorers. Unlike other biographers, he gains his insights not only through the dust of libraries, but through the dazzling lights of the dunes....what follows is...a careful exploration, stripping away myth (while avoiding crass revisionism), gazing into the complexity beneath a legend." -The Scotsman, Viking, 1998, 0<
