Al Mamlaka Min Al Dakhel | Robert Lacey

Author Robert Lacey recounts these dramatic and controversial events via the Saudis themselves, presenting an image of a society trying to embrace ideas it had previously rejected: religious tolerance, human rights, political responsibility—not yet democracy—and, most challenging, women's rights. In order to understand the world of the twenty-first century in which we live, we must understand Saudi Arabia. This book is the best and most accurate depiction of the unknown desert kingdom.
