Charles Gallenkamp shares the tremendous discoveries and unforgettable adventures of the Central Asiatic Expeditions of 1922-1930 and describes how a fossil-hunting team, led by Roy Chapman Andrews, braved raging sandstorms, murderous bandts, political intrigue, civil war, and conflicts between the United States and China as it searched for evidence of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures in the Gobi Desert. What was found was huge caches of dinosaur bones at places such as Mongolia's Flaming Cliffs. These fossils helped demonstrate geological connections between Asia and North America, and they added dozens of new species to the paleontological record. Often it has been said this is the story of a real life "Indiana Jones."
