First Published in 1980 Arabia Unified presents an insider's view of Saudi Arabia's history and the remarkable career of its founder. The book covers the capture of Riyadh from the Saud family's greatest rivals, the Rashid's, and the eventual defeat of Al Rashid at the battle of Rowdhat Muhanna; the elimination of Ibn Saud's most implacable enemies; the incorporation of the provinces of Asir and Hejaz into the kingdom; and the rise, rebellion, and eventual defeat of the puritanical Ikhwan tribesmen. Author describes life with the King's Bedouin warriors and the intricacies of the Arabian tribal system; the confrontation with the Imam Yahya of the Yemen; and finally, the start of the oil exploration which was to transform the country. The author concludes with his own account of the King's character and achievements.
