La Maison des SaoudThe House of Saoud
The day after 9/11, it was discovered that 15 of the 19 terrorists on board the suicide planes were Saudi Arabians. The world realized how little it knew about the Saudi kingdom. To understand Saudi Arabia, we must look at the reigning family. It holds the keys that allow us to grasp life in Arabia. If the Saouds have been able to keep their power, it is because they maintain a precarious balance between Islam and modernity, knowing that it is on this fragile balance that the petroleum state holds its stability. Will the Royal Family know how to cope with the storm headed its way?
