Reviews

A scholarly and readable book on the interaction between Saudi society and Aramco, the US oil giant that had its beginnings when the Saudi government granted its first concessions to Standard Oil of California in 1933. Combining history with political geography, Vitalis sheds a bright light on the origins and less savory aspects of the Saudi-US relationship. London Review of Books, A devastating critique of the oil giant Aramco and how strike-breaking and racism cemented the US-Saudi relationship. Tariq Ali, Guardian
