Inside the Kingdom

‘- Kings, Clerics, Modernists, Terrorists and the Struggle for Saudi Arabia –

“… Beststelling author Robert Lacey has known the kingdom well for thirty years. Here, he depicts the nation, post 9/11, struggling to re-align itself around the concepts it once scorned: religious tolerance, human rights, political accountability – though not yet democracy – and, most challenging of all, equal rights for women. If the kingdom can succeed in this battle, the consequences will be profound – for its own society and for the troubled Middle East.”

“Filled with stories told by a broad range of Saudis, from high princes and ambassadors to men and women on the street, Inside the Kingdom is in many ways the story of the Saudis in their own words.”
