What happened in the Middle East's oil-rich powerhouse while we weren't looking Following on his 1982 classic The Kingdom , British journalist and bestselling author Robert Lacey offers penetrating insights into the complex country of Saudi Arabia. Taking the reader from the dramatic seizure of the Grand Mosque in Jeddah in 1979 to the deepening U.S.-Saudi relations during the Persian Gulf War to the increasing alienation of such radical fundamentalists as Osama Bin Laden, Lacey presents an unvarnished picture of a country where repression is endemic and religion rules all.
