About This Item
New York: Random House, 2002. 242 pp, 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs, drawings. "(R)ecounts an amazing but little-known episode in the history of dinosaur hunting. On the eve of World War I, an amazing cache of strange Cretaceous-age dinosaurs was discovered in the Great Western Desert of Egypt. With considerable difficulty, this collection was brought to Munich, only to vanish in the flames of World War II. A few years ago a young soldier-turned-researcher set out on a quest to rediscover the site and was successful beyond his wildest expectations when his team uncovered bones of one of the largest dinosaurs ever found. This remarkable account of these discoveries relates an exciting story involving dinosaurs, exploration, and the tides of European history." Minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, very small remainder dot on bottom of text block. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top of spine and flap-folds.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
