KING IBN SA'UD (also known as 'Abd-al-'Aziz) united Saudi Arabia into a single kingdom in 1932 and ruled it until his death in 1953.
He has at least forty-three sons, eight of whom died before the Age of twenty. Among the most prominent of the survivors:
SA'UD. Succeded his father as king November 1953. Deposed November 1964.

SULTAN. Minister of Defense and Aviation and chairman of Saudi Arabian Airlines, among other titles. Father of Prince Bandar, long- time Saudi ambassador to the United States.

Krigen i Syria, med sine første blodige kamper i 2011, har fått en nesten utrolig ensidig dekning i norske medier. Kanskje fordi Norge deltar i krigen, og sannheten er den første som dør i en krig?
Kanskje også fordi USA har vært svært dyktige til å la sitt syn prege den vestlige verden.
Men anti-imperialistisk kunnskap og analyse finnes også. På denne lista har jeg samla endel av bøkene jeg har lest om denne skitne krigen, både medstrøms, motstrøms og noe midt i mellom. Kom gjerne med begrunna tips til flere bøker. Sist oppdatert 10.02.2021
