About this Item

This is the story of a quiet Welsh solicitor who goes to the Middle East on business and finds himself plunged into the violence and intrigue of a great struggle for oil. The struggle takes him deep into the little-known heart of the Arabian desert, to the courts of emirs and sheikhs, to the middle of a desert war, and to Saraifa, the fascinating doomed oasis that plays a pivotal part in the conflict. Condition: Boards have minimal shelf wear, pages are clean with the exception of original owners name inside front cover; pages have some tanning on pages due to age and foxing to page edges. Binding is firm. Dust Jacket has some edge chipping, back has the bottom ripped off (see pictures).
