U.S.-Saudi relations have been marked by ambivalence since their
inception over 50 years ago. The Arab-Israeli conflict, the
division between buyer and seller of oil, the superpower-small
state dichotomy, and the divergence of cultures, traditions, and
perceptions have all contributed to the anomalies that have marked
the relationship between the two countries, although mutual
interest has, over time, outweighed mutual antagonism. Dr. Long
examines the major factors affecting their association-economic,
commercial, military, and political as well as oil-related
factors-and develops the thesis that each has evolved a unique
internal dynamic and an existence independent of the others. It is
primarily in times of crisis that the factors have overlapped in
the minds of decision makers, Saudi and American alike. The author
argues that a knowledge of the development of each individual
element is crucial for understanding the intricacies of current
U.S.-Saudi relations.
