Blood and Oil is a gripping work of investigative journalism about one of the world's most decisive and dangerous new leaders, Mohammed bin Salman. It reads like a novel which is a tribute to the work and skill of the authors (as good as their previous triumph "Billion Dollar Whale").
The books starts in early November 2017 when nearly 400 of Saudi Arabia's most powerful people, among them princes, tycoons and ministers, were rounded up and detained in the Ritz-Carlton hotel, in what became the biggest and most contentious purge in the modern kingdom's history - click here , and continues at a fast trot from there.
The book is compelling reading, even if you've never been interested or, like me, lived and worked for three years in the world's largest sandbox.
P.S. And while I was at it, I sent a postcard to my old Saudi employers!
