THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF SAUD
There's an interview with Robert Baer at Atlantic Monthly that's well worth reading. Baer, a former CIA agent on the Middle East desk and author of The Fall of the House of Saud, has some pretty blunt things to say about the "combination of arrogance, xenophobia, and denial" that characterizes Saudi society and political life, and what our utter dependence on Saudi oil means in the face of those ugly facts. Check it out.
