At the age of 17, the author ran away from her school in Rome to join her uncle, a member of the White Squadron--a multinational group of men who "battled against the ruthless Arab drug and slave traffickers in the remote areas of the Sahara and Libyan deserts." She remained with the Squaron for 4 years, patrolling the desert on camel-back, living "the tough life of a trooper," amd experiencing a variety of hardships and adventures, which are recounted here.
