Saudi Arabia in the Balance

Saudi Arabia in the Balance: Political Economy, Society, Foreign Affairs |
Want a book about Saudi Arabia doesn't sensationalize or apologize for the country? This is a good bet- it's a collection of expert essays covering enough about the country's history, ideology, political system, economy, security situation, and foreign policy that you can get a feel of what actually goes on inside the country. Although it is sometimes heavy reading, the material inside is solid, and the essays by Madawi Al-Rasheed (Circles of Power: Royals and Society in Saudi Arabia) and Rachel Bronson (Understanding US-Saudi Relations) alone make it worth a look.
