Description

Blood and Oil: Mohammed bin Salman's Ruthless Quest for Global Power by Bradley Hope and Justin Scheck offers a gripping account of the rise of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), and his strategic yet often controversial pursuit of power. The book delves into how MBS, driven by his vision of modernizing Saudi Arabia, redefined the country's policies on both the domestic and international fronts. It sheds light on his bold economic reforms, including the ambitious Vision 2030 plan, and his efforts to reduce the nation’s dependence on oil. Alongside his aspirations, the authors critically examine his authoritarian grip on the kingdom, marked by high-profile purges, human rights violations, and the infamous murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Through interviews, investigative reporting, and analysis, Hope and Scheck present a complex portrait of MBS—an ambitious leader who walks a fine line between modernization and repression in his quest for global dominance.
