A highly anticipated new addition to Assouline’s best-selling Ultimate Collection, and the publishing house’s premier book on an Arab royal, Sheikh Zayed: An Eternal Legacy will exhibit the unprecedented life of this internationally revered ruler, unlike any book has done before. Scheduled for release in May 2021, this publication paints a portrait of a man internationally revered as an advocate of unity and an exemplar of tolerance whose greatest passions and legacies sit squarely in love of country, its people, and religion; a ruler honoured and respected in Arab countries and across the world as a symbol of vision and tolerance. The book features exclusive interviews with dignitaries, government representatives, royal family members, a foreword written by HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and never-before-seen photography.

As author of this seminal publication, my responsibilities include identifying relevant individuals, and scheduling and conducting interviews, which form the basis of my 7,000+ word essay. I am also responsible for all image collation from a multitude of sources and all caption information. Additionally, I pinpoint, and approach organisations and individuals interested in pre-purchasing the publication before its launch.
