Description:
Fouad Ajami presents a firsthand look at the political culture in Saudi Arabia and its conduct and influence in foreign lands from the early 1990s to the present day. From the influence of Islam in public life to Saudi rulers attitudes toward the Bush and Obama administrations, the author fills a significant gap in our understanding of that country."
Review Quotes: "[Ajami's] socially astute, politically savvy book leaves us with a more nuanced view of the kingdom's evolution and of its causes, some of which can be traced to our doorstep." --The Wall Street Journal
