"Later writers have snide things to say about her, but which other woman was riding about without a man to protect her in the back country east of Yemen back in the 1930's. And, she is a literate writer. Thus the 4 stars.
It's a quick read, but it is soooo personal, in contrast to all the geo-political tomes of today. Yes, she heavily edited the friction out of this, but it's a great glimpse inside the closed society of the emirates area when significant remnants of the ancient economy and society were still visible -- before WW II, before much access to foreign news and radio, and before much foreign travel by the local aristocracy."
