Saudi Arabia is a country defined by paradox: it sits atop some of
the richest oil deposits in the world, and yet the country's
roiling disaffection produced sixteen of the nineteen 9/11
hijackers. It is a modern state, driven by contemporary technology,
and yet its powerful religious establishment would have its customs
and practices rolled back to match those of the Prophet Muhammed
over a thousand years ago. In a world where events in the Middle
East continue to have geopolitical consequences far beyond the
region's boundaries, an understanding of this complex nation is
essential. With Inside the Kingdom, British journalist and
bestselling author Robert Lacey has given us one of the most
penetrating and insightful looks at Saudi Arabia ever produced.
More than twenty years after he first moved to the country to write
about the Saudis at the end of the oil boom, Lacey has returned to
find out how the consequences of the boom produced a society at war
with itself. Filled with stories told by a broad range of Saudis,
from high princes and ambassadors to men and women on the street,
Inside the Kingdom is in many ways the story of the Saudis in their
own words.
