First edition, first printing, of this early account of the origins and creation of the modern Saudi state, celebrating the rule of the nascent country's third ruler, King Faisal, published amidst the sweeping reform programme undertaken by Faisal, with photos chronicling a course of development that laid the foundations for modern Saudi state. Abdelhakim Ghaith was the first editor of the still-flourishing magazine Saudi Economic Survey, and this work describes the key social and economic reforms under way during the 1960s, detailing the establishment of a modern nation state through the development of mass public education and healthcare, heavy industry, transport infrastructure, and agriculture. Accompanying this is a wealth of photographs contrasting the older, now largely lost, buildings and modes of living, with ordinary people taking part in the modernization programme, and also includes portraits and photographs of Ibn Sa'ud and King Faisal. This work provides a fascinating insight into how the Saudi regime sought to present itself. The ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict and the bloody civil war in Yemen had blunted some of the promise of the Egyptian-led Arab nationalist movement, and the international context of decolonization and conflict across the Arab world brought a need for a sense of optimism and progress.
