The
Saudi File: People, Power, Politics

The
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
by David E. Long
Book Description: David Long's portrait of Saudi Arabia depicts
the kingdom as one of the least understood countries in the world. Encompassing
all facets of Saudi life—the land and people, their religion and culture,
the country's history, politics, economics, and foreign policy—the book
presents scholarship in a highly readable narrative. Drawing upon extensive
firsthand experience, Long depicts the often contradictory impulses of
a country committed both to modernization and to the values of a traditional
society. Alongside his discussion of oil and the Saudi economy, for example,
is a chapter on the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage, to Makkah, a subject about
which little has been written in English but one that is far more important
to the millions of Muslims worldwide than the kingdom's oil wealth. At
every turn Long looks at issues from a Saudi point of view as he explores
the kingdom's successes, failures, and, most of all, its remarkable resiliency
in response to the pressures of social change.

Oil, God and Gold: The Story of Aramco and the Saudi Kings
by Anthony Cave Brown
Anthony Cave Brown, the author of several well-received books on the
history of espionage, here turns his attention to a story as full of intrigue
as any spy novel: the rise of Aramco, once the world's leading oil concern.
Led by a consortium of American investors, Aramco managed through considerable
guile to insert itself in territory tightly controlled by the British--thanks,
in part, to the labors of one H. St. John Philby, a British spy (and father
of the notorious Soviet double agent Kim Philby) who held great influence
in the court of Saudi king Ibn Saud, and who, writes Brown, "was to betray
the British government in favor of Standard Oil." The Americans won Saudi
favor not only through Philby, but also through an intrepid Chicago-born
entrepreneur and diplomat named Charles Crane, who did for Ibn Saud what
the British failed to do: Crane built a costly waterworks that brought
drinking water into the Saudi interior. (For his part, Philby obtained
the monopoly on selling Ford automobiles in the country. In six years,
he sold the king 1,450 cars.) The result was a concession to the American
concern to what the U.S. State Department once called "the most valuable
commercial prize in the history of the planet," namely, the vast oil fields
of Arabia; for an initial investment of £100,000, Aramco eventually extracted
more than a trillion dollars from the Arabian reserves. The American interest
in Saudi and Persian Gulf oil has remained strong ever since, Brown writes--he
even calls the Gulf War of 1991 "the Aramco War"-- although the company
was nationalized in the mid-1980s. Brown's careful research and vivid prose
yield a fine read for anyone interested in contemporary affairs and world
history. --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com
