Non-Fiction History
Examining his roles as warrior, scholar, spy master, and
diplomat, this chronicle of Colonel Bill Eddy’s life
details the origin and early development of the U.S.-Saudi
diplomatic relationship and its implications on present-day
Middle East policy. From his birth in the Presbyterian
missionary community in Lebanon to his service in
intelligence operations in World Wars I and II to his
involvement in academia and his close friendship with Abdul
Aziz ibn Saud—the founding king of Saudi Arabia—this
narrative traces the unheralded Marine Corps officer’s
intimate ties with the Arab world and his unending
dedication to promoting good relations between America and
the Middle East.
