Saudi Inc.: The Astonishing Rise and Troubling Fall of the World's Most Powerful Monarchy is a groundbreaking and deeply researched account of the rise and fall of the Saudi royal family. Ellen Wald, a former Middle East correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, draws on extensive interviews with current and former Saudi officials, members of the royal family, and Western diplomats to provide an unprecedented inside look at the inner workings of the Saudi regime.

Wald traces the history of the Saudi family from its humble beginnings in the Arabian desert to its current position as one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the world. She shows how the family's rise to power was built on a combination of oil wealth, political alliances, and religious legitimacy. However, she also shows how the family's grip on power has become increasingly tenuous in recent years, as a result of internal divisions, economic challenges, and the rise of social media.

Saudi Inc. is a fascinating and important book that provides a unique insight into one of the most secretive and influential regimes in the world. Wald's writing is clear and engaging, and she does an excellent job of explaining the complex history and politics of Saudi Arabia. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Middle East and the global oil market.
