"Henri Lhote reports to the world on the discovery of the extraordinary wealth of prehistoric paintings of the Tassili-n-Ajjer in the central Sahara. These magnificent rock frescoes, some dating as far back as eight thousand years, were for the most part unknown until Lhote and his companions set out from Paris in 1956 to explore the high, arid, broken waste of Tassili-n-Ajjer. Here is the whole story of that exciting expedition, illustrated with maps and breathing scenic photographs."
