MBS is the untold story of how a mysterious young prince emerged from Saudi Arabiaâs sprawling royal family to overhaul the economy and society of the richest country in the Middle Eastâand gather as much power as possible into his own hands.
What The Reviewers Say
Ben Hubbard’s account of the life, machiavellian style and ambitions of the de facto ruler of the largest and wealthiest country in the Gulf is a fine example of talented and dogged reporting.
...[a] detailed and disturbing portrait.
Hubbard delivers a highly informed portrait, leavening his narrative with well-deserved skepticism, and leaves the reader wondering what lies ahead for the prince and his kingdom.
... a biography with no startling revelations about the life of its subject. Yet it is a revelatory work nonetheless.
