Among The Mountains

Description

Published by HarperCollins, 1998, 1st UK Edition, D/w, Fine.    The legendary Wilfred Thesiger (1910-2003), perhaps the twentieth century’s greatest explorer, recalls his travels among the mountain ranges of the Hindu Kush, the Karakoram and the Pamirs.  Though most associated with the Arabian Deserts and the Marches of Iraq, this volume spans 30 years (1951-1983) of his extensive travels and explorations in Asia, drawing on his original diaries and his vivid memories, and includes many of his finest photographs, 80 or so of which are previously unpublished.
