In this book, Gavin Young takes us on a fascinating journey to the marshes of Iraq, a place he discovered thanks to the legendary traveler Wilfred Thesiger. Young was captivated by the natural beauty of the landscape and by the Marsh Arabs, a people who maintained a lifestyle virtually unchanged since the times of the ancient Sumerians. However, upon returning to the marshes in 1984, he found that this centuries-old way of life was threatened by the 20th-century warfare. This book is a moving tribute to a unique culture and a love story to a place and its people.
