The time-tomorrow, or the day after. The war between Saudi Arabia and Iran is going badly for the Saudis; they need more and better tanks and they need thm quickly. John Haddad, a young Wall Street banker, is chosen by the Saudis to undertake a deal so amazing that, at first he can scarcely believe it himself. For Haddad, commission is to buy out General Motors. And all the Saudis need to make that possible is the income from 18 weeks' oil production... 18 weeks" Petrodollars.
