Product Description

"How couldst thou take such journeys into fanatic Arabia?" Richard Long begins his memoir with a quotation from Doughty and answers it affirmatively and with enduring enthusiasm and affection. He tells his story of over thirty years work as a diplomat in Muslim lands through Libya, Turkey, Iran, Syria, the Lebanon, Egypt, Qatar, the Gulf and—above all—Iraq, a country he continues to regard with the utmost affection, understanding, and concern.
