As he lay in the dusty street, a figure stood over him and proceeded to pump 4 more bullets into him at point blank range Blood & Sand is the story of a man who was left for dead but - and against all odds - survived. And not only did Frank Gardner survive but, drawing on his journalistic calling, he has given us an extraordinary, terrifying account of the whole, literally life-shattering, experience - from what it's like to be shot to the excruciating months of recovery. But his book is more than about this one incident and its aftermath. It is about a journey that began 25 years ago with a chance meeting on a London bus with the veteran Arabian explorer Sir Wilfred Thesiger, who inspired in the young Frank what would become a lifelong passion for the Arab world.

  • Blood and sand

    The book is very interesting and well written, as one would expect from such an erudite and experienced man. My only comment is that sadly, the book cover had been scribbled over, possibly by a child. Obviously this does not affect the content, but detracts from the ownership of such a book. I should have realised the price was too good to be true!
