Dhahran Fables: Fiesta Room Tales

In the late 1940s and early 1950s Dhahran, Saudi Arabia was a bare bones oil town in the middle of nothing but desert, a very different place then the Dhahran of today. There were no trees or lawns, no radio or television, and few amenities beyond the recreation center. Young teenagers of that era had to be resourceful about finding amusement where they could - at house parties, at the beaches of the Gulf or roaming aimlessly in the desert. This book is filled with stories about these kids and they way their energy and imagination turned what might have been a dreary experience into the best days of their lives.
