Preface ix

debt of gratitude to Jo Binns for having skilfully typed a barely decipherable
manuscript; to David Pryce-Jones for his encouragement and advice; and to
Patrick O’Ferrall for his generosity in allowing me to benefit from his know­
ledge and experience of the oil industry. To those friends and colleagues who
over the years have afforded me amiable counsel and criticism, and in Arabia
and the Gulf liberal hospitality, I offer my warmest thanks.
