    Two British businessmen influence the fate of the Middle East. The first is Paul Julius Reuter, founder of the Reuters news agency, who started life as a Jew in Germany and ended life as a lord in the British Empire and owner of both a global news corporation and Persia's central bank. The second is William Knox D'Arcy, a rags to riches entrepreneur who gambled on land to find gold in Australia, and gambled on oil exploration to find the first commercial quantities of oil in the middle east, crossing paths with spies, The Rothschild Family, Winston Churchill, British Petroleum and more.
