Libyan Sands

Libyan Sands: Travel in a Dead World (first published 1935; reprinted by Eland in 2010) is a travel book, written by Ralph A. Bagnold, the founder of the British Army's Long Range Desert Group in the Second World War. Described by Sahara expert Eamonn Gearon as "without question, the classic work of 20th-century Saharan exploration", it is a first-hand account of Bagnold's pioneering adventures in the Saharan desert during his time in the British army. It is still considered a classic work, and in 2010, it was reissued by Eland.
