This book about Laila Sulaiman Faidhi is more than a biography about a proud and mesmerising Arab woman, the Iraqi wife of one of the most powerful men in Saudi History. The book also gives a unique insight into Arab life and the trajectory of two countries in particular: Iraq, where Laila originated from and Saudi Arabia, the homeland of her larger-than-life husband: Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani, the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources under four Saudi monarchs and a minister in OPEC for 25 years.
The book then recounts the radiant life of two Arab individuals during some of the most turbulent times in 20th century world history and by that gives a unique insight into the history of their countries, the region and the world.
Laila meticulously collected documents, pictures, certificates, letters, passports, plane tickets, university reports, and diaries which are the basis of this book. A number of these documents, letters, and photos have been digitally reproduced.
