A Financial Times Book Best Book of the Year 2020 A Foreign Affairs
Best Book of the Year 2020 The gripping, untold story of how Saudi
Arabia's secretive and mercurial new ruler rose to power. Even in
his youth as a prince among thousands of princes, Mohammed bin
Salman nurtured sweeping ambitions. He wanted power - enough of it
to reshape his hyper-conservative, insular Islamic kingdom. When
his elderly father took the throne in 2015, MBS got his chance. As
the hands-on-ruler, he made seismic changes, working doggedly to
overhaul the kingdom's economy, loosen its strict Islamic social
codes and confront nearby enemies, especially Iran. His vision
initially won fans at home and abroad as he convinced other nations
that the moment had come to bet big on Saudi Arabia. Over time,
however, the sheen of the visionary young reformer has tarnished,
leaving many wondering whether MBS is actually an aspiring dictator
whose lack of experience and rash decisions are destabilizing the
world's most volatile region. Based on years of reporting and
hundreds of covert interviews, MBS provides new insights into Saudi
Arabia's catastrophic military intervention in Yemen, the bizarre
detention of the Lebanese prime minister, the surprise arrest of
hundreds of princes and businessmen, and the greatest scandal of
the young prince's rise: the brutal murder of Saudi journalist
Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi state officials with links to MBS - a
crime that shocked the world. A riveting portrait of a determined
autocrat on the rise, MBS asks how one man's actions and obsessions
are shaking the Middle East.
