The Flying Sheikh – Najib Alamuddin
6 $
Middle East Airlines is one of the most remarkable of all the airlines that have emerged in the past forty years or so… Its survival is a tribute to the tenacity and skill of one man, Sheikh Najib Alamuddin, nicknamed ‘The Flying Sheikh’. The book is an insider’s story of some of the most extraordinary business occurrences of recent years in the Middle East.
His determination to keep politics out of the business during the escalating war and the Arab-Israeli conflicts is the central theme of this business-oriented autobiography. He committed the deadliest of Lebanese sins, he notes, by refusing to allow the company to be sectarian, and there are moving passages depicting the way his employees – of widely varied political and religious persuasions – pulled together during each crisis.
