A hard-to-find biography of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, the Ruler of Ajman from 1928 until his death in 1981. This is one of the few detailed books on Ajman, and traces not only the life of Sheikh Rashid but also the modern history and development of the emirate in the decades leading up to the formation of the UAE in 1971. Based on more than 100 interviews and oral history, with hundreds of rare photographs of the emirate, this is a unique record of Ajman and its ruling family. Published in 2010 by Media Prima. Appears to be the first and only edition. Rarely found outside of institutional libraries. Softback, 396 pages. Appears unread. More images on request, ships from the UAE.
