Description:

A balanced, entertaining, and complete history of Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is the economic and spiritual center of the Middle East, the source of one fourth of the world's oil, the cradle of Islam, a key American ally, and the birthplace of Osama bin Laden. Most books on Saudi Arabia focus on current events and give short shrift to the long history that is the key to understanding the Saudis. Prophets and Princes begins with the birth of Muhammad in 570, but half of the book is a revealing portrait of Saudi Arabia today. Mark Weston (Armonk, NY), a former Visiting Scholar at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies in Riyadh, has been a lawyer for ABC Television and a journalist for ABC News. His articles have been published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. He is the author of the acclaimed Giants of Japan: The Lives of Japan's Greatest Men and Women (978-1-56836-324-0).
