The Wind and the Lion

Novelization of the screenplay by John Milius of the 1975 film The Wind and the Lion, starring Sean Connery, Candice Bergen and Brian Keith.

Between the wind and the lion is the woman. For her, half the world may go to war.

Mulay Hamid El Raisuli — Sultan to the Berbers, last of the Barbary Pirates, a man who's known the betrayal of his own blood and the blind allegiance of a thousand warriors. A man as fierce as he is fearless, as proud as he is brave. A man who meets his match in the beautiful American woman he kidnaps.

Mrs. Eden Pedecaris — blond, beguiling, a cool beauty with a fierce pride. She will defend her honor with her life, but risk both to save a man whose pride and bravery match her own.

Theodore Roosevelt — a rough-rider, hero, soldier, hunter, President of the United States. He carries a big stick and brandishes it fiercely at the venal powers of the Old World.
