Reseña del editor:
This is a portrait of the Gulf War by one of the region's most senior politicians and the Joint Forces Commander of the UN alliance to free Kuwait.
Contraportada:
This book is the most remarkable document ever to come out of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
His Royal Highness General Khaled was a commander of Joint Forces and Theatre of Operations in the Gulf War against Iraq, in a "parallel command" with the American Commander, General Norman Schwarzkopf. How their association worked – and occasionally didn't work – is one of the compelling themes of these memoirs. Never before has a true insider thrown such light on decision-making within the royal family, on the dangers and often hostile Middle East environment, on the complex Saudi-American relationship, and on growing up as a prince at a time when the desert kingdom moved from poverty to unimaginable wealth.
Bit this is not just another war book: It is a journey behind the scenes of one of the most discreet ruling establishments in the world. As the spiritual heart of Islam and owner of the world's greatest oil reserves, Saudi Arabia today is a major power. Never has it been more important to understand the concerns and aspirations of that country and the thinking of its Royal Family.
‘Nobody contributed more (to keeping the coalition together) than Prince Khaled... who recognises the emotional and political difficulties most Arab officers experienced in deploying their troops against those of another Arab nation, regardless of how much they despised Saddam Hussein personally’
ECONOMIST
‘Time and again, Khaled sheds light on the Saudi attitude to delicate issues... For all its military detail and sense of life behind the scenes of Gulf conflict, the chief value of this book is to glean fresh insights into how Saudi Arabia is changing – or not’
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
‘I was reminded of some other memoirs of another war: those of Charles de Gaulle’
FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Full of fascinating anecdotes’
