The Battle For Saudi Arabia by Asad Abukhalil

The Battle For Saudi Arabia by Asad Abukhalil

Arab American scholar As`ad Abdukhalil studies the political and cultural enigma that Saudi presents to many Americans. He is essentially interested in the ambiguity created by this country which is both moderate yet reactionary, home to the world's largest oil reservoirs yet also to Osama bin Laden. Through closely examining Saudi society, its history, religion and ethnic tribalism, as well as the shared interests, tensions and contradictions inherent in U.S.-Saudi relations, he offers a critical look at one of the world's most repressive and fundamentalist nations.

AS'AD ABUKHALIL was born in Tyre, Lebanon. He received his B.A. and M.A. in Political Science from the American University of Beirut, and his Ph.D. in Comparative Politics from Georgetown University. AbuKhalil has taught at Georgetown, George Washington University, Tufts University, Colorado College, and Randolph-Macon Woman's College. His articles on Middle East politics and society have appeared in English, German, Spanish, and Arabic. He is professor of political science at California State University, Stanislaus, and a visiting professor at UC, Berkeley.
