The book by Ellen Wold, a specialist in the field of geopolitics and world energy, is devoted to the history of Saudi Arabia from the beginning of the 20th century, when Abdelaziz from the Saudi family began the struggle for the unification of the Arabian Peninsula, and up to the present, when the Kingdom has become one of the most important participants in the global energy market. The main characters of this historical and political saga are the Al Saud royal family and the most profitable company in the history of the oil business, Aramco. The reader is waiting for an exciting immersion in a world where religion and terror, business and family strife, Eastern wisdom and Western values, the struggle for oil and the redistribution of the global energy market are closely intertwined.
