A soldier’s journey along the Shatt-el-Arab reveals heat, danger, and human moments in a land at war.

River of Sand follows a traveler’s voyage through Mesopotamia, where boats push through blistering heat, riverbanks run flat to the horizon, and life unfolds in the blur of logistics, combat, and everyday resilience. The narrative moves from Basra to Kurna and beyond, painting scenes of bustling ports, crowded steamer decks, and the constant struggle with climate and distance. It also looks at hospital life, the practical needs of troops, and the human humor that threads through hardship.

The book blends vivid travel writing with frontline observations, offering a window into how a modern military campaign unfolds along a mighty river. Readers will meet interpreters, medics, and soldiers, and witness moments of humor, danger, and quiet resolve amid heat, dust, and movement.

Describes the rigors of river travel, heat, and the rhythm of convoy and navigation.
Details life on a river steamer, with barges, mules, and the constant push of supply lines.
Offers scenes from Basra, Kurna, and the Narrows, including cultural glimpses and daily peril.
Explores hospital life, medical logistics, and the practical challenges of care in the field.

Ideal for readers drawn to military history, travel memoirs, and portraits of life on and around a war-riven river.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the realities of medical service during World War I. The author, a medical professional, provides a firsthand account of his experiences in Mesopotamia, a region rife with challenges. Drawing on personal observations, the book vividly portrays the harsh realities of war and the debilitating impact of the intense heat and disease on soldiers. The book delves into the themes of human resilience, the complexities of wartime medical practice, and the profound influence of the environment on both the physical and mental well-being of soldiers. The author's insights into the difficulties of procuring supplies, the struggle to provide adequate care in the face of limited resources, and the overwhelming psychological impact of war paint a stark picture of life at the front. The book offers a stark contrast to the romanticized depictions of war often found in literature, revealing the grim realities of war in a way that is both poignant and unforgettable.
