Description
Clear-eyed and illuminating insights into the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are offered in this superbly researched history. David Rundell, one of America's foremost experts on Saudi Arabia, draws on his 15 years of living and working in the country to explain how it has been stable for so long, why it is less so today, and what is most likely to happen in the future. The author's close contacts with key figures provide a unique perspective on the country's transformation under King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. A rich history of Saudi Arabia is presented here, demystifying one of the most powerful but least understood states in the Middle East.
