Product Information
The decision of the British Government in 1912 to convert its naval ships from coal to oil set in motion one of the greatest periods of exploration of the twentieth century, the search for oil in the Middle East. In 1945, after a lull caused by the Second World War, exploration was set to expand again and twenty-one year old Mike Morton embarked on an empty troop ship bound for Palestine to begin his career as a geologist with the Iraq Petroleum Company. Arriving in Jerusalem, Mike soon found himself surrounded by the Arab-Jewish conflict which led to the bombing of the King David Hotel. Then, during a series of ground-breaking expeditions in southern Arabia, he travelled where the famous Arabian explorer, Wilfred Thesiger, had feared to tread: the mysterious Mahra country. He took part in Operation DEF, the invasion of a foreign land , in which the interior of Oman was opened up to the modern world. Finally, in 1971, he was the deputy leader of a Royal Geographical Society expedition to one of the remotest parts of Arabia, the Musandam Peninsula. In The Heart Of The Desert is the biography of Mike Morton written by his son. It describes an extraordinary world and a rich parade of characters: autonomous sheikhs and their fiercely independent tribes, nomadic Bedouins, colourful ex-patriots and a group of intrepid geologists driven by an oil company's search for oil. Mike struck a distinctive figure and, being red-haired with a sometimes fiery temper, the Bedouin called him Shaib al-Ahmar, the Angry Red Man . The author presents a detailed and thoroughly researched account of his father's life which culminates in the story of his own journey to southern Arabia and a poignant meeting of the present with the past.
