Reviews

"The Lost Dinosaurs of Egyptrecounts 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. Seldom have I been so captivated by a book on exploration." -Dr. Hans-Dieter Sues, president elect, Society of Vertebrate Paleon- tology, and vice president, Collections and Research, Royal Ontario Museum "If you lovedIndiana Jones, you'll adore this tale of two dinosaur hunters whose expeditions to Egypt, separated by nearly a century of warfare and mystery, brought to light what may have been the largest creature that ever walked the earth." -Erik Larson, author ofIsaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History "Nothdurft gracefully interweaves the team's exploits with Stromer's own Bahariya experiences. . . First-rate popular science." -Publishers Weekly, "The Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt recounts an amazing but little-known episode in the history of dinosaur hunting.
