An examination of the Saud family, a dynasty whose profligacy, greed and corruption have brought Saudi Arabia to the very brink of bankruptcy and which now sees itself on the verge of collapse.
This book offers a warning to western governments of a future West-Muslim war. 'The House Of Saud' can no longer keep its people and Arab neighbours quiet. Throughout the Middle East, Islamic movements deplore the Saudi royal family's vast expenditure on themselves and western armaments. They are also opposed to the immorality of a dynasty whose men have purchased women in bulk, plundered the country's oil revenues in pursuit of pleasure, and clung to retrograde policies such as expelling, imprisoning and executing dissenters and sponsoring foreign dictatorships. The developed countries of the West, in particular the USA, are committed to keeping a king on the Saudi Arabian throne who will ensure that the oil continues to flow at the right price. Yet the future of the country is likely to see the birth of a militant, vengeful Islamic regime and a huge increase in the price of oil, leading to a world depression and a West-Muslim war.
