Sailor in the Desert is the personal account of a Royal Navy sailor's experiences during the Mesopotamian campaign of 1915. As an able seaman on an armed sloop supporting the British expedition up the River Tigris, Philip Gunn's recollections give a rare perspective of this ill-fated campaign.At the outbreak of war, Phillip Gunn was serving on HMS Clio, a naval sloop fitted with sails and guns stationed in China and immediately tasked with hunting the soon-to-be-famous German cruiser Emden, but failed to prevent her escape. Gunn and Clio were next in action defending the Suez Canal against an attempted Turkish invasion before joining the expedition to invade Turkish-held Mesopotamia (Iraq). When the River Tigris became too shallow for Clio, Gunn took over a Calcutta River Police launch. He towed improvised gunboats to bombard the enemy in close support of the advancing land forces, whose assaults on enemy positions he witnessed. Though he repeatedly came under fire, it was malaria which finally struck him down during the pivotal Battle of Ctesiphon. He was fortunate to survive the journey back downriver. Sailor in the Desert is an authentic account drawn from Phillip Gunn's unpublished memoirs as well as conversations with the author, his son David. It is illustrated with archive photographs and colour paintings by Philip Gunn himself.As featured in the Cotswold Journal and Aberdeen Press & Journal.

In March of 2003, a coalition of countries headed by the United States invaded Iraq. Two months later, President Bush declared the end of major combat operations. It was almost a year later that the Navy recalled Paul Sherbo to active duty. At that time, one of Paul's fellow Reservists was sure the war was winding down and Paul would be home in just six months. It wasn't winding down. He was not home in six months.Admitting he was "not one of the 19-year-old American warriors kicking in doors in Fallujah," Paul says, it was nonetheless an expedition into unfamiliar territory. "I began this journey as a married father of three in my early 50s with a good job, a transplanted Iowa boy living and working in the Denver area. I was a captain in the Navy Reserve with a decent amount of sea-time on active duty behind me. None of this prepared me for a ground war insurgency in a desert."

Some readers complained about the abrupt end of Desert Sailor on the San Francisco waterfront in 1946 so the WW II sailor published a sequel that takes him and his bride through a new and much more enjoyable series of peacetime adventures. After his honorable discharge from the navy Fitch went to Harvard College as a GI Bill student. He fell for a pretty Irish Radcliffe girl in a Spanish class. In his senior year he won a Sheldon Travel Fellowship, graduated on a Thursday in June 1950 and married Claire Thompson the following Sunday. Three months later they were in South America. Follow their "Extreme Economy Class" travels, in which they covered 13,000 miles by rail, jitney, bus, truck, ferry, steamship and bulk grain carrier, through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

Desert Sailor - A Journey of Endurance is one man's journey of discovery. At the age of thirty Rob ran the first of his 22 marathons to date. Some years later, as a middle aged suburban lawyer, he started to question his world and the world around him, looking for answers sailing in the howling winds of Bass Strait, running ultra marathons in the tortured sands of Morocco's Sahara Desert, in the majestic mountains of the Himalayas and on the wind swept steppes of Northern Mongolia. Rob's realisation that the answer didn't exist was answer enough and no excuse not to keep looking. His journey created an endurance athlete who has no need to reason why.
