Even in the midst of an oil boom that looms ever larger in their lives, these Moslem faithful take off their shoes, unroll their prayer rugs, and kneel devotedly toward Mecca at sundown. The little-know- and still lands of the once-po- rn Arabian Peninsula are riding a magic carpet of petrodollars to undreamed of prosperity and influence. To many they symbolize a world turned upside down, in which formerly destitute desert sheikhdoms threaten the prosperity and power of the industrial nations. Following a three-mont- h journey to the oil rich states around the Persian Gulf, author John J. Putman attempts to answer three vital questions in the October National Geographic: What are the Arabs doing with their money? Who are the decision makers? What can be expected of them?
