'The Beheading' is the title piece of this spectacular collection
of true stories and commentaries. It is an eye-witness account of a
beheading in the desert kingdom of Saudi Arabia where the author
witnessed savage and soul-destorying punishments. They are
recounted in this book with great clarity and brutal honesty, but
with the sensitivity and poignancy born of the insight of a man who
has studied the culture and history of this land with meticulous
care. But these stories are not for the squeamish. They are
required reading for those who are concerned about the inhumane and
barbaric practices carried out around the world and have the
stomach to read of such chilling things. Included in this
collection is a shocking account of an adulterous woman stoned to
death. 'Women Are Always To Blame' achieves a particular relevance
in light of recent worldwide concerns about this practice. In
'Extracts from my Diary', Bob Crew reveals how his predicitions
regarding what would not change in Saudi Arabia in the new
Millennium have been remarkably prescient.
