The book delves into Saudi Arabia's political landscape following the 9/11 attacks, focusing on King Abdullah's reform agenda and the country's resilience against the democratic movements of the Arab Spring. Utilizing firsthand reporting and WikiLeaks documents, it critiques the West's complacency in supporting the House of Saud, questioning the narrative that Saudi leaders effectively combat jihadist extremism. Andrew Hammond advocates for a reevaluation of Western policies toward Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the need for a more critical approach to its governance and human rights issues.
