Kuwait... in Black and White

About the Book

The book (the first edition Arabic version) was sold in one month, the second edition (also in Arabic) was totally sold to one source and came out only two months after the publication of the first edition. The book contains a rare collection of pictures of old Kuwait which the author collected during four years of research and some travel. This is the first part of "Kuwait in black and white" and the author is working on the second part which is planned to come out next year. It is a rare chance for non Arabs and non Arabic speakers to closely see Kuwait and its people before oil discovery, a history of more than 100 years or more in one book.
