Eamonn Gearon is an Arabist, author, and camel expert. For the past twenty years, he has lived in the Greater Middle East, focusing on policy issues as an analyst and special advisor.
"A succinct and successful summary of the past, present and future
of this surprisingly busy desert."--Michael Palin
"Gearon is the rare writer who uses humor and grace to tell the
most humanistic of tales--that of a land with a history of both
indigenous and foreign seekers, merchants, and poets...His tale
goes beyond the simple charm of travel writing and rises beyond
facile orientalist stereotypes."--International Social Science
