The Pirate - Abdulaziz Al Mahmoud

At the beginning of the 19th century, a fierce bloody conflict took place between the British Empire and the Arab tribes in the Gulf to control the region and obtain a rare sword adorned with jewels. The British governor in Bombay sends a precious sword to Ibrahim Pasha, the commander of the Egyptian armies, to entice him to ally with Britain to eliminate the young Wahhabi movement and its Arab tribal allies. But when Rahma bin Jaber's ships, "the pirate," attack the British ship carrying this valuable gift, the gates of hell open for the "pirate," and the British fleet chases him. A series of major events then begins that forever change the reality of this region. Number of pages: 413 Year of publication: 2011 Publisher: Dar Jamia Hamad
