Worldcat lists 6 locations including the Library of Congress and 5 institutions in Spain (OCLC 5241580). Fernando Frade Merino (1917-2011) was a Colonel in the Spanish army who served in the Spanish Civil War, and in Morocco where he learnt Arabic, about Islam and its manners and customs. He was a member of the Spanish Association of Military Writers (AEME). From 1968 he visited several Middle Eastern countries in order to report back to the Spanish public on the state of the Islamic world. He did this through a series of articles for Ejercito magazine, and in works such as this, including several works on Saudi Arabia, and on Islam. Here, he describes Kuwait's geography, history, people, religious life, its cities and life in them. (Reference: Asociacion Espanola de Militares Escritores (AEME)).

Shipping Terms

SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).

DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.

RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
