What if you found a box full of old photos and documents? Would you just throw it out or would you attempt to preserve the past? Would you save the "lives" of those people frozen in time or would you cart off those old memories to the dustbin of history? Should've Been With Me is a book not only of a WW2 cargo pilot in the China-Burma-India theater of war. It is not only a book about the engineer of some of USA's first satellites. It is a book about your parents, your grandparents and the legacies they leave behind. We need not be war heroes or NASA space pioneers to be important in the lives of others. Our memories and accomplishments should be preserved for the next generation. This is what this book is about.
“A perceptive and gripping biography” of the enigmatic British explorer, photographer, and author of Arabian Sands (Daily Mail, UK). Wilfred Thesiger, the last of the great gentlemen explorer-adventurers, journeyed for sixty years to some of the remotest, most dangerous places on earth, from the mountains of western Asia to the marshes of Iraq. The author of Arabian Sands, The Marsh Arabs and The Life of my Choice, he was a legend in his own lifetime. Yet his character and motivations have remained an intriguing enigma. In this authorized biography—written with Thesiger’s support before he died in 2003 and with unique access to the rich Thesiger archive—Alexander Maitland investigates this fascinating figure’s family influences, his wartime experiences, his philosophy as a hunter and conservationist, his writing and photography, his friendships with Arabs and Africans amongst whom he lived, and his now-acknowledged homosexuality.
