My Story - 50 Memories from 50 Years of Service by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781785965005.

My Story is an important collection of anecdotes and reminiscences from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and is published to mark the occasion of his fifty years in public service, which began with his appointment as Dubais Minister of Defence in 1968. These stories tell of the vision behind Dubais meteoric growth from a small and bustling trading port to an international metropolis at the heart of global business. They record the evolution of the United Arab Emirates from a shared ideal to a nation where more than 195 nationalities live and work in peace, harmony and prosperity. And they reveal insights from a man whose drive, determination and will to succeed have become legendary. Within these stories lies the heart of Sheikh Mohammed the statesman, the equestrian, the poet and the leader. They are written with the intent to inspire and inform new generations of readers, and to celebrate the achievements of this young and vibrant nation and the people who shaped it. This celebration of a life in service is unavoidably incomplete. As Sheikh Mohammed himself indicates, there is still so much left to do. As a record of the first fifty years alone, however, it forms part of a remarkable legacy. Other titles written by Sheikh Mohammed and published by Explorer include Zayed, Reflections on Happiness & Positivity, Flashes of Verse and Two Great Leaders. The latest book by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A collection of 50 stories from his personal, professional and political life Includes exclusive behind the scenes stories from key moments in the history of the UAE
