Wheels Across the Desert: Exploration of the Libyan Desert by Motorcar 1916-1942

by Andrew S. Goudie

In between the search for the Poles, the climbing of Everest and the Space Race, the exploration of the Sahara - a huge swathe of terrain, the size of India - by motor car is one of the untold chapters in the story of twentieth-century exploration. Many people have become fascinated by this area since falling in love with the scenery of 'The English Patient'.
