In 1933 American oilmen representing what later became the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco) signed a concession agreement with the Saudi Arabian king granting the company sole proprietorship over the oil reserves in the country's largest province. Aramco soon became a major presence in the region. Chad H. Parker tells Aramco's story, showing how an American company not only contributed to Saudi "nation building” but helped define US foreign policy.
