Description
Inside the Kingdom: A Complex Nation at War with Itself Saudi Arabia is a country defined by paradox - it sits atop some of the richest oil deposits in the world, yet its powerful religious establishment seeks to roll back modern customs and practices. In this complex nation, events continue to have far-reaching geopolitical consequences beyond the region's borders. To understand Saudi Arabia, an insight into its inner workings is essential. British journalist Robert Lacey has given us one of the most penetrating looks at Saudi Arabia ever produced. More than twenty years after first writing about the country, he returns to explore how the consequences of the oil boom have created a society torn apart by conflicting forces. Through stories told by Saudis from all walks of life - princes, ambassadors, and ordinary citizens alike - Inside the Kingdom offers a unique perspective on this enigmatic nation. This book is a nuanced exploration of Saudi Arabia's internal struggles, shedding light on the country's contradictions and complexities.
