London: Stacey International, 2003. The Wilderness of Zin, first published as the Annual of the Palestine Exploration Fund for 1914/15, describes an incredible archeological survey carried out as cover for a British military mapping operation in southern Palestine just before the outbreak of World War One. The most comprehensive account of the region at the time, it is still a most important work ninety years later. "Admirers of T. E. Lawrence will find it a valuable addition to the ana of that strange and impressive personage" (The Montreal Gazette). "A brilliant record of hazardous adventure" (New York Sun).
