With camels and camera in the desert theatre A visual record of the Second World War in the Middle East with superb snapshots of Indian Army personnel members of the camel corps in Egypt and Sudan and the Sudanese household cavalry. Also included is a range of scenic views and images of everyday life. Warner's squadron served in the Middle East 1941-2 and was posted to North Africa in 1943. His most important photographs concern his service and those with whom he served. Alongside photographing military personnel he records their training and excursions and in one image a group of RAF men Warner perhaps among them pose on top of a car belonging to the Palestine Police Force. Eight photographs show the funeral of a British sergeant while one commercial image pictures Winston Churchill visiting soldiers at Tel El Kebir on 9 August 1942. Scenic and tourist views of Palestine show Warner's seaside billet in Haifa a coffee house and street in Acre and Mt Carmel as well as the Sea of Galilee Lake Tiberias and the atmospheric River Nile. The squadron's transfer to Africa is made via troop train. Aerial photographs of Khartoum are positioned alongside snaps of a sandstorm and by the White Nile Bridge he snaps an RAF hydroplane. In North Africa he mingles with soldiers of the Sudan Defence Force and members of the Khartoum police band. The album closes with a trip along the road to the Congo and time spent on duty at Juba.

Surprisingly Scarce in this edition which was <br/><br/>Dust jacket price is 500 rupees. DJ blurbs by V. S. Pritchett Elizabeth Hardwick Michael Ratcliffe. "Printed by PUSP Print Services" on last page. A companion volume to his AMONG THE BELIEVERS: this is his observations on his travels in Indonesia Iran Pakistan and Malaysia. "Beyond Belief is interesting and often perceptive and offers real insights into the lives and experiences of these people. As narrative it is an impressive achievement--but it is not only narrative. Despite Naipaul's surprising disclaimer that this is not "a book of opinion" or of "conclusions" it is very much both. Opinion and conclusion are reflected in the selection of stories and in their structure and tone; they are also evident in the editorial commentary scattered throughout. Naipaul repeatedly characterizes Islam as a fanatic missionary religion dedicated to erasing the histories and native cultures of convert peoples. Although all missionary religions are to some extent guilty of this Islam in his view is more single-minded and systematic in its effacement of the past - Choice Review".
