Talk by Bosworth Monck
The last talk in this group looks to the future. Modern civilisation, with its airfields, pipe-lines, and refrigerators, is destroying much of the traditional appeal of Arabia. What will remain? Bosworth Monck who answers this question speaks as a traveller in many parts of the world - Turkestan, Siberia, Persia, Afghanistan - who during the war came to Arabia on a special mission to King Ibn Sa'ud. He believes that nothing, not even Western civilisation, can destroy the magic which haunts the life of Arabia.
