Amman Zahyan fi Tarikh 'Imarat Abu Dhabi.
The scarcer Arabic edition of this important early work on the first two years of the reign of Sheikh Zayed. It was released to mark the second anniversary of Sheikh Zayed's rule of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and celebrates his reign and the ambitious plans he had for the future.
