In 1962, when oil was $2/bbl (*12.50/m/sup 3/), King Faisal appointed a lawyer as minister of petroleum. According to the author, he wrestled control of Saudi Arabia's oil away from the U.S. during the next 11 years and turned the OPEC cartel into a major world force. In Oct. 1973, when war broke out in the Middle East, this man held the world to ransom. Yet in 1989, a one-sentence edict brought his political career to an end. This book traces these events in a biographical account of the former Saudi Arabian oil minister and leading force behind OPEC, Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani.
