Blood and Oil
Book • 2020
This book chronicles the rapid rise of Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) and his significant influence on global politics.
It details how MBS's ascent coincided with the erosion of the long-standing US-Saudi relationship based on oil for military protection.
The authors explore MBS's relationships with international elites, including US bankers, Hollywood figures, and politicians, as well as his dealings with the Trump administration.
The book also delves into MBS's efforts to attract foreign investment and his ruthless methods, including the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
It paints a vivid portrait of treachery and power grabs within the Saudi royal court and the broader implications of MBS's actions for the region and the world.
