Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Afghanistan File', written by the former head of Saudi Arabian Intelligence, tells the story of his Department's involvement in Afghanistan from the time of the Soviet invasion in 1979 to Nine Eleven 2001. It begins with Saudi Arabia's backing of the Mujahideen in their fight against the Soviet occupation and moves on to the fruitless initiatives to broker peace among the Mujahideen factions after the Soviet withdrawal, the rise to power of the Taliban and the shelter the Taliban gave to Osama Bin Laden.A recurring theme in the book is the extraordinary difficulties Saudi Arabia and its allies faced in dealing with the Mujahideen. Prince Turki found them magnificently brave, but exasperating. On one occasion, while trying to broker peace among them, he obtained the King's permission to open the Kaaba in Mecca. Inside, the leaders were overcome with emotion and swore never to fight each other again. A few hours later on their way to Medina they almost came to blows on the bus. Turki's account provides details of the Saudi attempts to bring its volunteers out of Afghanistan in the 1990s - with chequered success - and his negotiations with the Taliban for the surrender of Osama Bin Laden.The book includes a number of declassified Intelligence Department documents. Prince Turki explains that the nihilistic, senseless terrorism witnessed in the Middle East over the last twenty years originated in Afghanistan, fueled by Osama's deluded belief that he played a key role in defeating the Russians. There is no evidence that he ever fought them at all. Soon after Nine Eleven, Saudi Arabia discovered that it had a homegrown terrorist problem involving some of the returnees from Afghanistan. Much of the huge change that has taken place in the Kingdom since has stemmed from the campaign to tackle this.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In recent years, Islam - whether via the derivatives of 'Political Islam' or 'Islamism' - has come to be seen as an 'activist' force in social and political spheres worldwide. What such representations have neglected is the strong countervailing tradition of political quietism. Political quietism in Islam holds that it is not for Muslims to question or oppose their leaders. Rather, the faithful should concentrate on their piety, prayer, religious rituals and personal quest for virtue. This book is the first to analyze the history and meaning of political quietism in Islamic societies. It takes an innovative cross-sectarian approach, investigating the phenomenon and practice across both Sunni and Shi'i communities. Contributors deconstruct and introduce the various forms of political quietisms from the time of the prophetic revelations through to the contemporary era. Chapters cover issues ranging from the politics of public piety among the women preachers in Saudi Arabia, through to the legal discourses in the Caucasus, the different Shi'i communities in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Pakistan, and the Gülen movement in Azerbaijan. The authors describe a wide range of political quietisms and assess the continuing significance of the tradition, both to the study of Islam and to the modern world today.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Great Britain's decision to withdraw its forces from the Gulf was a turning point in the modern history of the Middle East. Now regional players had to find rules of common coexistence. With the US immersed in the Vietnam war and the Soviet Union pursuing a policy of caution, there was no world power waiting to succeed Britain. As a result, Gulf politics 'went local'. This book examines how Iran influenced efforts to reorder the Gulf's political landscape. Its central argument is that a better understanding of the new Gulf order can be achieved by emphasizing local concerns and the degree to which regional powers influenced the policy of external powers in those times.

(1)pp title, 19pp English text printed to the rectos only, including both the Inclosures called for on p4 (Appendices 1 and 2), but not the brevet "specimen" which may have been a diagram. Good, lightly tanned and creased, with small reference number label to the front (no other institutional marks present), and faint staining to the last leaf.

This Saudi edition is extremely rare, with Worldcat recording only a first US edition published with the same title by the Reg't Quartermaster International, Colorado Springs, CO, 1971, but described as unpaged with some colour illustrations (OCLC 23181622).

Black and white gelatin silver photograph, 195 x 137 mm. Mounted on card emblazoned with the blind-stamped arms of Saudi Arabia and further housed in matting. Signed in blue ink on lower margin of photograph. Signed just four years before his assassination: a formal black and white photograph of HH King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, with his signature below, dated in both Hijri and Gregorian calendars to the 23rd of December 1971 (6/11/1291). Tipped onto a card embossed with the arms of Saudi Arabia. - Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was a son of the first ruler of Saudi Arabia, HH King Abdulaziz. In 1964 he wrested control of the country from his elder brother HH King Saud in a bloodless coup, in which he was supported by the royal family and the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia. Saud went into exile, and Faisal was formally named king; he would rule Saudi Arabia for just over ten years, until he was shot by one of his nephews in 1975. His political life, however, spanned decades, starting when he was no older than thirteen, and his influence first as prince, then crown prince, and subsequently as king was immense. During his rule, Faisal was known both as religiously conservative and as a reformer, who brought Saudi Arabia further into the modern age. - Tipped onto card; in excellent condition.

Oblong folio (340 x 240 mm). 12 ff. 16 black and white silver gelatin photographs, 3 laid in loosely, 13 mounted in photo corners, 255 x 170 mm and 300 x 200 mm. Contemporary saddle-stitched tan cloth. A fascinating series of photographs of the Saudi royal family, including King Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1906-75) during his time as crown prince and prime minister, and a very young Prince Mashour bin Saud Al Saud (1954-2004), as seen through the lens of the famous Iranian photographer Shahrokh Hatami (1928-2017). - Hatami, particularly known for his striking celebrity photographs of film stars and world leaders, captures the royal family and their residences with a deft touch and artistic eye. The reverse of several prints show Hatami's studio stamp, and three have additional handwritten captions in French. All three captioned photographs are snapshots of the very young Prince Mashour bin Saud: no more than ten years of age, likely about seven, he poses on the hood of his very own 1959 Chrysler Imperial Crown Sedan with a license plate showing the crest of the Al Saud family, the caption explaining that, despite his age, "il possède 4 voitures". Elsewhere, Mashour walks alone and with a minister through well-groomed grounds, captioned, "Mashur et son 1er ministre particulier Fallah". A third shows the young Mashour seated on a sofa, his court seated on the floor in front of him. - Elsewhere, Hatami photographs a crowd of Al Saud family members, relations, and members of Saudi leadership aboard a Lloyd Triestino passenger ship, including scenes of women exiting waiting luxury cars to board the ship, and three candid photographs of Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud onboard. Other snapshots show formal political functions, palace interiors and exteriors, including a line of guards in an opulent hallway and a state dinner, all shot in Hatami's contemplative, elegant style. - Only minor or marginal hints of wear; quite a well-preserved collection.

Oblong 4to (333 x 230) mm. Photo album with 12 baryte paper prints (125 x 110 mm) and 1 press photo (225 x 191 mm), the latter captioned, stamped and dated. Blue full percaline with gilt cover ornaments. Cord binding. A fine ensemble of photographs documenting the historic state visit to Iraq by King Saud of Saudi Arabia in May 1957, apparently photographed and assembled by a member of the Iraqi entourage closely involved throughout the visit. King Faisal II of Iraq and his Prime Minister Nuri As-Said met with King Saud to discuss the Pan-Arab movement led by Gamal Abdel Nasser, involving anti-monarchist efforts in Jordan. Eventually, talks in Baghdad were wound up "with a pledge to coordinate resistance to communism and a warning that no Arab state should meddle in the affairs of its neighbors" (caption of the press photograph). - The collection includes previously unseen pictures of the monarchs' arrival by car and carriage respectively, their mutual exchange of greetings, and the state dinner, as well as the subsequent talks held in the palace garden. - Not traced in the Keystone or Hulton/Getty press photo archives. In excellent condition.

Black and white gelatin silver photograph, 206 x 279 mm. Signed by the photographer in blue ink near lower left corner of photograph. A formal black and white photograph of HH King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, signed by the photographer. - Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud was a son of the first ruler of Saudi Arabia, HH King Abdulaziz. In 1964 he wrested control of the country from his elder brother HH King Saud in a bloodless coup, in which he was supported by the royal family and the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia. Saud went into exile, and Faisal was formally named king; he would rule Saudi Arabia for just over ten years, until he was assassinated by one of his nephews in 1975. His political life, however, spanned decades, starting when he was no older than thirteen, and his influence first as prince, then crown prince, and subsequently as king was immense. During his rule, Faisal was known both as religiously conservative and as a reformer, who brought Saudi Arabia further into the modern age. - Faint marginal flaws.

12 black and white photographs, 131 x 179 mm. Official photographs labelled in-plate by the Saudi national broadcasting company, and numbered on the reverse. Rare official government photographs of two kings of Saudi Arabia on the Hajj: HH Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1902-69), then ruler of Saudi Arabia, is flanked by his brother and soon-to-be successor, HH Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (1906-75). The snapshots show the royal brothers, together and separately, on a pilgrimage to Mecca during Saud's reign. Few photographs of this trip survive, and these show both Saud and Faisal in conversation, saluted by a greeting party in Mecca, and in the traditional clothing of the Hajj. Though undated, the photographs are clearly from the era of Saud's reign, which stretched from 1953 to 1964. In 1964, Faisal staged a bloodless coup with the backing of the royal family and took over kingship of Saudi Arabia, while Saud proceeded to exile in Egypt and Greece. - A few minor creases, one marginal closed tear; in good condition.

Three rare press photographs dating from 1969 to 1971, which show HRH King Faisal (1906-1975) visiting the United Kingdom, Taiwan, and Cairo and give a composite picture of Saudi foreign policy under his rule: receptive to the west, avowedly anti-communist, and pan-Islamic above all. King Faisal's belief in the importance of Palestinian statehood saw Saudi Arabia lead OPEC's 1973 oil embargo against numerous western countries which supported Israel. Despite this, he sought to maintain positive relations with the West, to his country's benefit. The first image in this set was taken during his state visit to the United Kingdom in May 1967. The image depicts the king smiling and waving as he sits beside Queen Elizabeth and opposite Prince Philip in a horse-drawn carriage. The king famously considered communism to be completely incompatible with Islam and deemed the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China to be major threats to Saudi Arabia. In 1971, he made a landmark visit to anti-communist Taiwan, where he met Chiang Kai-Shek and spoke of Islam as a cultural bridge which had historically united the Arabs and the Chinese. In the second image in the set, he is seen watching military exercises from a motorcade in northern Taiwan. The figure to his right is the Taiwanese Vice President, Yen Chia-Ken. The final image depicts King Faisal sitting next to Colonel Mu'ammar Gaddafi of Libya, President 'Abd al-Rahman al-Iryani of North Yemen, and President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, at the extraordinary meeting of the Arab League in Cairo in 1970. The summit was convened because of the Jordanian Civil War and the violence which erupted between the PLO and the army of King Hussein. Nasser would die only a few hours after this photograph was taken, and the image captures an extraordinary moment of unity. 3 silver gelatin prints (each 180 x 150 mm to 200 x 130 mm), later laid down on decorative card mounts (each 310 x 250 mm). Photographs with minor surface abrasions; mounts with slight water damage, some toning and foxing, spots of worming, edges brittle and chipped. In good condition.
