The Man Who Would Be King Quotes

“Despite the subsequent destruction of that first Saudi state by the Ottomans in 1819, another Al Saud prince escaped capture and founded a second Saudi state in 1824. To preserve his rule, Turki bin Abdullah al-Saud carefully avoided provoking the Ottomans with any acts of religious intolerance. But he was ambushed and assassinated by a sword-wielding cousin. If religious excess doomed the first Saudi state, family infighting destroyed the second in 1891.”
