Saudi Arabia Exposed

I love this book. The British author, an Arabic speaker,worked as a journalist for a few years after 9/11/2001. What I like about the book is that it is written in a casual and concise style, within a few pages I was hooked.

Saudi Arabia sits on top of the largest oil reserves in the world, it is a close "ally" of the U.S., but not many Westerners know much about the House of Saud. I learned a lot reading this book, the author is a great guide, I quickly included it on my list of favorite books on the Middle East.
