Sleeping with the Devil

In "Sleeping with the Devil," Robert Baer examines the complex and troubling relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, highlighting how dependence on Saudi oil and strategic ties have masked deeper issues within the kingdom. Drawing from his extensive experience in the Middle East, Baer reveals how the Saudi royal family’s corruption, support for fundamentalist extremism, and internal unrest pose significant risks to global stability. The book explores how America’s alliance with Saudi Arabia has inadvertently contributed to fostering an environment conducive to terrorism and economic vulnerability, raising critical questions about the true costs of this longstanding partnership.
