A long but captivating book this one written by Alan Delaney: The True Story of Riad Khashoggi – Rebel Sheikh. Considering also the historical moment we are living in, the sad, horrible departure of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post's reporter, maybe it's better to read this book.
This last name, Khashoggi rings a lot of bells.
This family has an important past.
They are in Middle-East from more than 800 years and they have been always extremely powerful. Kings, ministers, scholars, sultans, they have generated the cream of the society.
Hamza will be the main protagonist of this story. Grandfather of the latest Khashoggis, this man with the time lost most of his beloved friends, remaining a good man; he fought for freedom and democracy.
This book is a thriller but also a tale of another, sometimes very distant culture, in the absorbing high society of Saudi Arabia.
You will meet a lot of diversified people: politicians, some of their names modified for privacy, princes and princesses, secret services.
If you love thrillers, this book is for you!
Highly recommended.
I thank Sharon Keble for this ebook.
