Description

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, why? Are they with us or against us in the war on terror? In what ways does our supposed ally act to undermine our foreign policy? Was there a close connection between the House of Saud and a high al Qaeda operative? And, perhaps most explosively, is there a secret, failsafe 'scorched earth' plan that involves detonating explosives in Saudi oilfields in the event the kingdom is attacked from without or from within? For each of these issues, Posner's research has been extensive, including tracing the money trail and obtaining bank records--research that, he charges, was not pursued by the 9/11 commission, which, in its final report, called the Saudi government a 'problematic ally.
