Very insightful book given the current chaos taking place inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The author’s assertions accurately reflect a kingdom lost in a maelstrom of conflicts as it reacts to one problem after another. For instance, Saudi Arabia’s ongoing ground and air strikes in Yemen have failed to achieve their objectives. The author asserts that these impulsive responses, if they continue, will affect Saudi Arabia more than any other country in the Middle East.
The author’s predication is that Saudi Arabia’s governing house will be shaken to its foundations if and when Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman ascends to the throne. Worse yet, the political and social turmoil inside the Kingdom inevitably will spill across the greater, strife-torn Middle East.
This book offers insights into whether Saudi Arabia can continue as it is, or must it change its course given the shifting sands of the Middle East. The book is a must read!
