Includes facsimile on glossy paper of letters received by the author from Franklin D. Roosevelt and Admiral William D. Leahy.

Eddy to Dr & Mrs Philip Sauntry; Dr Sauntry served as Northwest Hospital's Chief of Surgery. The meeting between Saud and Roosevelt, on the U.S. Naval ship the USS Quincy in the Suez Canal, was the first time the King had left Saudi Arabia. William A. Eddy (1896-1962) acted as interpreter. Eddy's greatest contribution to WWII was his involvement in "Operation Torch," the Allies invasion of French North Africa. For more on Eddy, who served in the O.S.S., as well as the first US Minister Plenipotentiary to Saudi Arabia during 1944-1946, please see Thomas Lippman's Arabian Knight: Colonel Bill Eddy USMC and the Rise of American Power in the Middle East.
