Title: Going the way of the Amrican Indian
Review: I just spent 3 months travling in 5 Saudi cities and their surrounding deserts and read the book after having it recommended by a Pakistani Engineer supervising a project I was involved with. After I made a comment about feeling that the Arab people had become lost in some way, they being extraordinarily kind and hospitable in many ways yet totally insane in others, automobile diving skills for example, I felt sad over a since of a dyeing greatness. The gentleman said, "You need to read a book titled "Arabian Sands" to better understand these people. So I did. The author bore witness to what I only felt had occurred. It is a very good read for anyone interested in knowing about the Arab people just prior to the arrival of the oil companies. Arabian Sands is an Anglo-Christian window into a world that is all but gone.
Is the review positive or negative?
