Notes	In 1964, Faisal bin Abdulaziz became king of a country that possesses a quarter of the world’s oil reserves and is home to Mecca and Medina. He was described as “the most powerful Arab ruler in centuries.” Eleven years later, one of his nephews killed him with a bullet he fired at his head, closely in front of television cameras. +++ Alexei Vasiliev tells the story of a religious, cautious, and resolute leader who steered the course of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia beyond the minefield of local problems, internal Arab relations, and the decline of Soviet influence in the Middle East. King Faisal maintained his relations with both Egypt and the United States of America through two wars between the Arabs and Israel and an oil embargo imposed by the Arabs in 1973. +++ The research work carried out by Vasiliev included original documents and interviews he conducted in Arabic, Russian, and English, which gave him a unique vision of this remarkable personality.
