Solomon's Temple: Musjid-i-Suleiman & the Quest for Oil in the Middle East - Paperback
Description
by Sam L. Pfiester (Author)
Solomon's Temple is an extraordinary book-a meticulously researched historical novel that tells the true story of the dramatic birth of the Middle East oil industry. By 1908, investors in the Persian oil concession were out of funds. After seven years of unsuccessful drilling, hindrance by hostile tribes, shifting political alliances, and 120-degree temperatures, the directors sent word to cease operations. But as a rising German state began to threaten Britain and its Empire, this audacious Persian gamble became more than a matter of profit-it held worldwide geopolitical consequences. Based on firsthand archival research, every character in Sam L. Pfiester's riveting novel is a real-life person. Every event actually happened. Solomon's Temple brings to vivid life the story of a drilling expedition that changed the world forever.
