This work opens with a description of the Arabian Peninsula between the 16th and mid-18th centuries. This covers the rise and fall of Ottoman rule, political, social and religious conditions in Nejd in particular and the Peninsula in general, and Al-Wahhab and the start of his movement. The rest describes and the Dynasty's rise, expansion, rule, decline and destruction. The author notes that while Nejd remained independent of Turkish rule, it was rendered unstable due to the existence of several small Sheikhdoms whose whose disharmonious relations made it vulnerable to invasions by the Sharifs of Mecca and rulers of Al-Ihsa. The rise of the first dynasty was made possible by the presence of an ideology (Wahhabism), people who believed in it, wise and sober leadership, and the weakening of others at time, including the Sharifs of Hejaz, the Bani Khalid in Al-Ihsa, and the Ottomans. The Dynasty's fall is attributed to propaganda by Ghalib and the Ottomans that undermined Wahhabism, Saudi refusal to let the Sultan's subjects perform Hajj, Saudi capture of the two Holy Cities, cooperation between the Ottomans and the rulers supplanted by the Saudis, Saudi strictness and their refusal to accept external support (placing them at a disadvantage to Muhammad Ali, who accepted European aid), and limited financial and military resources relative to the Ottomans.
