The story of Sheikh Zayed should not be disrupted by space constraint. No amount of money could buy his loyalty or change his determination to achieve a peaceful settlement giving the people of Abu Dhabi what was rightfully theirs. Even the thought of this potentiality was completely unacceptable to Sheikh Zayed. He took up arms at the age of fourteen to fight against tribes who were infringing on the territory of Abu Dhabi. As soon as he was in control, Sheikh Zayed began taking steps that would bring Abu Dhabi out of the dark ages.
