In the middle of this century, a crucial debate took place within the royal family of Saudia Arabia, between King Sa'ud and Crown Prince Faysal. When the dust had settled, the kingdom had been remade into a modern state, even as the grip of the royal family tightened. Saudi stability still rests upon the foundations laid in that crucial decade. This book offers a comprehensive and documented analysis of the royal debate, which ended in the transformation of the kingdom from a tribal confederation into a nation-state.
The Struggle between King Sa'ud and Crown Prince Faysal, 1953-1962
