Kamal Adham (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kamal Adham was a former Director General of Saudi Arabia's Al Mukhabarat Al A'amah, General Intelligence Directorate. He was the younger half-brother of Queen Iffat Al-Thuniyyan Al Saud. Queen Iffat's Turkish-born half-brother was raised by King Faisal. An early companion of the future ruler, Adham performed more than was required of a family member, even if his upbringing endowed him with undeniable attributes.The young Adham was fluent in four languages - Arabic, Turkish, English and French - and, more important, loyal to both his sister and brother-in-law. In fact, he advised the ruler on the kingdom's foreign policy interests at a time when severe internal disputes polarised the Al Saud. Adham acted as a liaison between the GID, which reported to the king, and key Western intelligence services.
