Meer over het boek

At Riyadh, in 1902, the desert raider Ibn Saud tossed the head of the town governor from a parapet down to his followers below... thus was the kingdom of Saudi Arabia founded. Two-thirds the size of India, it holds a quarter of the world's oil and has six times more overseas assets than the USA. A land of desert unchanged for centuries, with the wealth and power to make the world tremble... The domain of the House of Saud.
