    About this book

    From Rags to Riches: A Story of Abu Dhabi by Al Fahim, Mohammed. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781860642333.

    Born in 1948, in Abu Dhabi, the author knew dreadful poverty for years before fabulous oil wealth transformed his country forever. He grew up in the rulers palace, barefoot like his playmates, now senior figures in the United Arab Emirates. This is a vivid eye-witness account of the total transformation within only 30 years of a Bedouin society into a country with the worlds highest per capita income. He speaks with great frankness about his own life and career and about the role of the British in his country.
