About this title: This investigative report on the House of Saud, and its connections to America's business and political communities, uncovers a wealth of information and asks some profoundly disturbing questions about what was long considered America's staunchest ally in the Arab world. Journalist Gerald Posner, author of WHY AMERICA SLEPT: THE FAILURE TO PREVENT 9/11, explores such questions as: What is the extent of Saudi investments in the U.S., and what influence do they carry with them? Did members of the Saudi families in America receive preferential treatment in the days following 9/11--and, if so, ...

"This is an interesting, but ultimately frustrating book. I got the impression that this book was rushed to press before it was fully ready, there is a lot of filler, and the structure was at times unclear.
Provides some food for thought, it's just that the food is Doritos."
"You should definitely read this book. The events described have cost every U.S. citizen immensely. We are caught in the cross-fire in the most ancient of wars. It is time for citizens to wake up and demand that Congress attend to our needs instead of the House of Saud."
"Extremely interesting read. It provided a lot of insight to some underlying causes of the terrorism we see today - 9/11, suicide bombings, etc. The Saudi-US relationship is a truly dysfunctional one. It will be very interesting to see what happens with Saudi Arabia when demand for oil drops (it will, it's just a matter of time - hopefully sooner than later)."
"Very good. Before we developed their infrastructure goats were eating the garbage. The mullahs thought refridgerators were evil. Oil embargo gave oil co the biggest profits they had ever had. Is that the reason we don't get our own oil out of the ground? They don't want to see the price go down.
Too bad we are funding the war against ourselves."
