From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who has spent the last thirty years writing about Saudi Arabia-as diplomatic correspondent, foreign editor, and then publisher of The Wall Street Journal-an important and timely book that explores all facets of life in this shrouded Kingdom: its tribal past, its complicated present, its precarious future.
Through observation, anecdote, extensive interviews, and analysis Karen Elliot House navigates the maze in which Saudi citizens find themselves trapped and reveals the mysterious nation that is the world's largest exporter of oil, critical to global stability, and a source of Islamic terrorists.
To write this book, the author interviewed most of the key members of the very private royal family and gained extraordinary access to Saudis-from key religious leaders and dissident imams to women at university and impoverished widows, from government officials and political dissidents to young successful Saudis and those who chose the path of terrorism-House argues that most Saudis do not want democracy but seek change nevertheless.
A riveting book-informed, authoritative, illuminating-about a country that could well be on the brink, and an in-depth examination of what all this portends for Saudi Arabia's future, and for our own.
