Fundamental study of Northern Arabia in late 19th century

The most complete study of late 19th century Arab mores available in English. Maps, plates, sketches and glossary.This was the era of Rashidi dominance in the peninsula. Doughty traveled as a Christian, risking his life continually. The biblical cadences of the text are more often than not stirring
