Publisher's Synopsis
Mohammed Al Fayed, the larger than life head of Harrods, was rarely out of the news in the nineties, Nadim Sawalha captures Al Fayed's mix of bombast and bonhomie, presenting a touching and humorous piece that represents the human side of the Al Fayed story as opposed to the scandal and drama that surrounds it. It is also a thought-provoking satire on the British establishment, examining Mohammed Al Fayed's exhaustive quest to gain a British passport - an irreverent look at the question of nationality in Britain. In other words: Mohammed Al Fayed vs. HM Government.
