Soft cover. Condizione: Good. Original staple bound printed tan wraps 17x21cm. 24pp with typed presentation slip laid in: "We thought you would enjoy reading these stories by Miss Lorania Francis. Sincerely yours, Public Relations Dept. Arabian American Oil Co". Covers good, scuffed along the spine and front fore-edge with small areas of loss, interiors very good or better, lightly tanned. This reprints 12 articles and an Editorial relevant to Aramco dated 18 March to 11 April 1951. It was part of an ad hoc series that included issues for articles by Dahl Duff in the Oil and Gas Journal (1952), and John Piper in The San Francisco News (1955). The PR Department also published a regular tabloid sized digest of world news reports called "Arabian Oil Headlines" in the 1950s. Francis wrote from Dhahran (mostly), Al Kharj, and Beirut. She covers Aramco's early development, its contributions to Saudi development (in water, agriculture, health, education and staff development), the Cold War and wider geopolitical and economic context. The articles: "Middle Eastern Oil Showdown Nears" (18 Mar) / "Arabian Peninsula Holds Oil Bonanza" (19 Mar) / "Soviet Invasion Recognized as Real Peril in Middle East (20 Mar) / "Arab Authority Bids UN Fix Israel Border (25 Mar) / "Little US Sprouts in Arabian Desert" (27 Mar) / "Arab Farms Boom Under Americans" (28 Mar) / "Saudi Arabs Learn Without Pay Loss" (1 Apr) / "US Hospital Oasis of Health for Arabs" (2 Apr) / "Reluctant Arabs Trained in Nursing" (3 Apr) / "Brave New World Opens for Arabs" (5 Apr) / "Desert Best Seen in C-47 'Milk Run'" (9 Apr) / "Americans Relieve Arab Water Woes" (11 Apr). The Editorial, "Point 4 Without the Taxpayers" (20 Mar), concludes that "as a result of Aramco's self-interested ministrations Arabs are healthier, wealthier and wiser, the last in the sense that they are learning American technology by working at jobs where it is applied" (p23). Point 4 refers to Truman's technical assistance plan for developing countries launched in 1949. Extremely rare, not recorded on Worldcat or Library Hub.
