Description

The Marsh Arabs were one of the most isolated communities in the world.

Few outsiders, let alone Europeans, had been permitted to travel through their homeland, a mass of tiny islands lost in a wilderness of reeds and swamps in southern Iraq.

One of the few trusted outsiders was the legendary explorer Wilfred Thesiger, who was Gavin Maxwell's guide to the intricate landscape, tribal customs and distinctive architecture of the Marsh Arabs.

Thesiger's skill with a medicine chest and rifle assured them a welcome in every hamlet, and Maxwell's sharp observation, honed as a naturalist and writer, has left an invaluable record of a unique community and a now-vanished way of life.
