    About this ebook

  • Bruce Riedel has followed these Kings and Presidents at the CIA, the White House and Brookings for decades. Riedel worked with three Saudi Kings, five Crown Princes and four Presidents directly.


  • Using declassified documents, memoirs by both Saudis and Americans and eye witness accounts this book takes the reader inside the royal palaces, the holy cities and the White House to understand this complex partnership.


  • 9/11 fundamentally challenged the Saudi-American entente. This will continue to be a challenge as both countries have new leaders.


  • This book is the first to track the relationships between Kings and Presidents that has shaped the special partnership between an absolute monarchy with a unique Islamic identity and the world's foremost democracy.

      Great insite of the history betseen US and KSA. Alot has changed since the writing of this book, and i think there shojl be a new copy with the changes involved. Saudi Arabia has opened its borders to all forieners, women can drive, and many things have changed to the better.
