With more anecdotal material than Robert Lacey's THE KINGDOM, this biography is more personal than the Lacey treatment. Ibn Saud, like Jalaladin Akbar has some remarkable characteristics that grace the greatest of history's leaders. Charismatic, fearless and magnanimous in victory, Ibn Saud's creation of a unified Arabia, much like the efforts of Otto Von Bismarck in Germany, is marked by cunning and daring and a willingness to attack any defeat rather than let it lie. Because of the insular nature of the harem and family life, this book is only a glimpse into the life of one of history's most interesting founding fathers. The book's strongest point is it bibliography, both its length and breadth so that the reader may explore other subjects that arise in the telling of the Saudi tale.

This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand Contemporary geopolitics. Why Saudi Arabia is the way it is han been very well brought out. Saud's genius in building a kingdom and dynasty is very evident.OTOH, the book is an undisguised PR effort for Ibn Saud. He is praised to the sky while others are dismissively caricatured. While opponents are 'fat, murderous, treacherous', Saud can go from being far sighted and wise to a simple Bedouin for whom a man's word is his contract (within the same chapter). Once you discount that, it is a rewarding read.

I'm a Saudi citizen, and there are a lot of information I just knew about. It is a very interesting book to read. However, there is a major mistake that I urge the author to revise as soon as possible. That is: Fatemah is the prophet Muhammad's daughter not his sister.

A great book for putting so many Middle East issues into focus, including historical perspectives that help one see the traditions of violence accompanied by a certain code of moral conduct. An added bonus was the added insight it provides to other countries like Britain, US, the Netherlands (all oil and geo-strategic related) in addition to the locals- Iraq, Iran, Turkey, but also the religious cultures of Wahhabism, Shiite, Suni. bedouin nomads, and the towards the end the emergence of Israel headlong into this mix. Women's rights issues receive less consideration - just enough to put things into perspective. Ibn Saud as a leader seems to be a honorable man of strong character - always forgiving his enemies but being forever vigilant and quick to react when cornered. One of the best historical treatises I have read among the popular literature with abundant footnotes. Slow to start but becomes more and more intriguing as you go. Congratulations to the author.

3.5 stars in my opinion. Lots of information, excellent research, and a thorough bibliography. However, the book reads a lot like a text book. And the book is misnamed. It covers the period from about 1870 to 2010 in the events of the development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. About 75% of the book covers the life of its founder Ibn Saud. But its thrust is the kingdom and Saud; its not strictly a biography. Good reading if you want to get a good overview of Ibn Saud and the birth and development of Saudi Arabia.
