Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A chilling evaluation of today's geopolitical situation...highly recommended."
--Dallas Morning News

"An unsettling, eye-opening account of our relationship with Saudi Arabia... [Baer] gets our attention." --Boston Herald

"Details how an administration known for its vigilance on the international scene routinely and inexplicably spins, caves, and hops for the Saudis." -- The Washington Post

"[Baer] makes a strong case that Saudi Arabia-with skyrocketing birth rates, growing unemployment, a falling per capita income and a corrupt ruling family draining the public coffers-is a powder keg waiting to explode." --Publishers Weekly

Reseña del editor:

A veteran of the CIA provides an insider's account of the love-hate relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, giving an up-close view of the corrupt Saudi empire and how the royal family's suppport of a radical religious group helps keep them in power while fostering hatred of the West throughout Saudi society, and explaining why turning a blind eye to Saudi turmoil has damaged America's homeland security.
