About the Author:
Sir John Ure, former British Ambassador to Cuba, Brazil and Sweden, is the author of, among other travel and historical books, The Cossacks and The Trail of Tamerlane. He writes regularly on travel for the Daily and Sunday Telegraph, and has served on the council of the Royal Geographical Society and as chariman of the Thomas Cook 'Travel Book of the Year' panel. His recreation in Who's Who is 'travelling uncomfortably in remote places and writing about it comfortably afterwards'.
Review:
Sir John Ure, career diplomat who became British Ambassador to a variety of countries, spent an intrepid honeymoon in 1972 in a Saharan sandstorm searching for the legendary Tuaregs. Never forgotten, not least by his wife, this has inspired his scintillating exploration of nomads and the cavalcade of Anglo-American eccentrics who have been drawn to their way of life. Ure focuses on four groups: the Bedouin of Arabia, the Tuaregs, the Mongol-descended horsemen of the Central Asian Steppes and the migratory tribes of the Persian plains. Their history and habits are engagingly told and enlivened by the disparate western misfits who followed their nomadic footsteps. A feast of anecdotes and an adventure into a vanishing freedom on the nomad trail.
