Description:

Under-armed in hostile territory, and foolishly employing the enemy as guides,the one hundred explorers were ambushed and stranded without camels or suppliesin the deserts of southern Algeria. Many were killed outright, and for fourmonths the survivors were menaced by the Tuareg, the lords of the desert,robbed, starved, and tricked into eating poisoned fruit. To escape, the men hidin the wastelands of the Sahara with little hope of finding food or water. Finallyforced to eat each other, only a dozen men lived to tell their tale. The story of theirone-thousand-mile journey is one of the most astonishing narratives of survivalever recorded.
