Out in the Blue: Letters from Arabia—1937 to 1940, A Young American Geologist Explores the Deserts of Early Saudi Arabia |
| Thomas Barger |
| Selwa Press, 2000, hardcover, 284 pp. |
| Compiled by Tim Barger, this collection of letters between his father and mother provide a glimpse of Arabia before there was oil. The elder Barger worked as a junior geologist for Standard Oil in Arabia—and retired 32 years later as President and CEO of Aramco. These letters paint a fascinating portrait of life in mid-century Arabia—from desert nomads to King Abdul Aziz bin Saud—and of a way of life now almost completely obliterated. |
