ABOUT
Examines the position of the State of Kuwait, both before and after oil was discovered and the part played by a New Zealander, Major Frank Holmes in bringing about the genesis of an oil industry within that country.
The author also looks at the effect on the lives of both the desert nomads and townspeople alike, as many traditional ways of life give way to present day commercial considerations. The author explains why Major Frank Holmes became known as "Abu el Naft" or "The father of oil", tracing the progression of events from his birth in Southland in 1874, to final retirement in England and the metamorphosis of Kuwait from the medieval period up to the recent crime against humanity, when Iraq set several hundred oil wells ablaze.
