| 520 | |a "Karen House has gained unprecedented insights into Saudi Arabia and its controversial leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman through her more than forty years of experience covering the Arab kingdom. House reveals a leader who like Peter the Great is a reformer determined to modernize his kingdom but also an autocrat who jails political opponents and rival princes to assure his grip on power. Drawing on extensive interviews with the Crown Prince, his royal relatives, and his inner ring of advisors, [this book] explains in full what shaped the man who is reshaping Saudi Arabia. Drawing on fresh, headline-making reporting, House balances both sides of this complex ruler. We are introduced to MBS the visionary, who has ushered in reforms for women to participate more equitably, encouraged tourism to the Kingdom, and placed long term bets on green energy and trillion dollar mega-projects like The Line, a hundred-mile-long enclosed futuristic city in the desert that will be run by AI. And we meet MBS the Machiavellian prince, widely accused of having Washington Post columnist and Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi murdered, and of sports washing the kingdom's reputation by investing billions in teams globally, from Premiere League soccer to the LIV golf tour to the World Cup, which the Kingdom will host in 2034"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
