Description: The stupendous thrill of the never before photographed Salt Trek. 15,000 camels in one caravan in the yearly march of the tribes for their salt supply. The torpedoed boat episode and the gripping tenseness of the rescue scenes. The never-to-be-forgotten thrill of the voice of Paul Robeson as he sings "My Way" and "Deep Desert"—two soul-stirring songs from the pens of the hit writers of "Isle of Capri" and "Red Sails in the Sunset." (Recommended for curriculum enrichment.)
