1.Finding Nouf: A NovelFinding Nouf: A Novel
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $16.32

Customer Review:
This book is well written and a compelling description of upper-class Saudi society. The ending is a bit disappointing, but I loved the two distinct voices from which the story is told.

from Wiley
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
Matthew R. Simmons is one of the smartest oil men on earth. He knows more about Saudi Aramco Oil Company than I do and I lived in Saudi Arabia for 18 years. I love the title, Twilight in the Desert, it's sometimes twilight that's the most beautiful in Sauid Arabia. In the empty quarter, away from... more info

from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $16.46

Customer Review:
Yes, this is a long book; worth every minute. The depth of research is mind-boggling, but it is written with a clear, quickly-moving presentation. It is long on detail, extensive and interesting, short on editorializing: Coll leaves that up to the reader. Given the opacity of the Saud and bin Laden... more info

from Windsor-Brooke Books
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:
I read this when I was high school and was shocked and appalled at how those poor Middle Eastern women live. Now grown, I have Middle Eastern female friends who laugh their head off at this book.

5.Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A TriumphSeven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph
from Anchor
Price: $14.28

Customer Review:
Rightfully regarded as a modern classic, this book is nevertheless not light reading. This is a result of the density of information, as well as Lawrence's writing style, which often makes a re-reading of passages necessary to fully grasp them, besides his use of some unusual vocabulary. But by the... more info

6.Kingmakers: The Invention of the Modern Middle EastKingmakers: The Invention of the Modern Middle East
from W. W. Norton
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
Although Meyer and Brysac don't tell why Americans learn so disastrously little from history, they've made some of the history itself wonderfully accessible. Now they do that for the modern history of the Middle East, whose "three universal faiths" extol "brotherhood and peace, compassion and... more info

I enjoyed the first book from Jean Sasson titled 'Princess' that detailed the childhood and adulthood of Princess Sultana in Saudi Arabia. Sasson's second book 'Princess Sultana's Daughters' while still an interesting and quick read, was not as impressive but if the reader is wanting to know more... more info
