SYNOPSIS: In 1901, ibn Saud, twenty-one years old and penniless, rode out on camelback from Kuwait, accompanied by forty men, to reconquer his father's kingdom. At his death, fifty years later, he was the undisputed ruler of most of Arabia and one of the richest men in the world. This account of his rise to fame and fortune is one of the most adventurous and fascinating life-stories of this century. Ibn Saud was a fearless fighter, a master of desert war strategy, yet also a suave and charming diplomat who could show great clemency to the defeated. He waged a long fight against foreign influence: against Turkey whose army died in the desert and against Britain. Ironically it was America which drew the oil from the deserts and earned unimaginable wealth for ibn Saud--wealth which brought the near destruction of his life's ideals.
