Blood and Oil: Mohammed bin Salmans Ruthless Quest for Global Power

This book presents an in depth look at Mohammed bin Salman and his rise to become crown prince of Saudi Arabia. It also shows how shallow the man is and how little he understands about the world outside the kingdom particularly democracies around the world. Of course, Blood and Oil: Mohammed bin Salmans Ruthless Quest for Global Power Well written and fast paced! I highly recommend for anyone that wants to learn about MBS or the Kingdom. Also for those that are intrigued by global business or tales of family drama (such as on the TV series Yellowstone). Justin Scheck I enjoyed this book very much! I definitely can see this book, or MBS's life be turned into a tv series. MBS truly fits the stereotypical prince that we see in the movies. The author broke down the history and the perspectives. I just wished the author added details Justin Scheck
