'A highly unconventional and explosive book' International Herald Tribune


'Those who want to know about the country will devour it for the sheer quantity of tasty titbits it offers about the closed kingdom and the royal princes' Guardian

The House of Saud can no longer bribe its people and Arab neighbours into silence. Throughout the Middle East, Islamic movements deplore the Saudi royal family's waste of the country's wealth on private expenditure and costly Western armaments. They are also opposed to the immorality of a dynasty whose men have purchased women in bulk and plundered the country's oil revenues in pursuit of pleasure and who cling to retrograde policies such as expelling, imprisoning and executing dissenters.

The developed countries of the West, in partiar the USA, are committed to seeing on the Saudi Arabian throne a king who will keep the oil flowing at the right price. Yet the future of the country is likely to see the birth of a militant, vengeful Islamic regime and a huge increase in the price of oil, possibly leading to a world depression and even greater conflict between the West and the Islamic world.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been a major political power player in the Politics of the Middle East and other Arab Nations across the world.Oil Revenue of the Kingdom is such that other Arab Nations, mostly without Oil Revenues, look at Saudi Arabia for financial aid to manage the day to day affairs of their countries. Subsequently the one in need is obliged to obey commands of the giver. Such is the relation between the Kingdom and the other Arab Nations. Personally believe if Kingdom of Saudi is restricted by the major powers to extend financial aids to unknown humanitarian causes the chances of a peaceful Middle East will be doubled.
