Everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of historical adventure, this enthralling narrative recounts the experiences of twelve American sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Africa in 1815, captured by desert nomads, sold into slavery, and subjected to a hellish twomonth journey through the bonedry heart of the Sahara. The ordeal of these men who found themselves tested by barbarism, murder, starvation, death, dehydration, and hostile tribes that roamed the desert on camelback is made indelibly vivid in this gripping account of courage, brotherhood, and survival.
