Sahara Books
 

I'm looking for some inspiration. What books would anyone recommend about the Sahara. I've read the Sword and the Cross and enjoy that style of writing: history, culture, exploration etc.
Thanks!

I think 'Impossible journey; two against the Sahara' by Michael Asher is by quite some margin the best Sahara-related book I have ever read.

Our Friends beneath the Sands by Martin Windrow is a massive (nearly 700 pp) tome covering the 1870-1935 period of the French Foreign Legion, mostly in North Africa.
