Thicker than oil : America's uneasy partnership with Saudi Arabia
2006,2008
Overview
Drawing on a wide range of archival material, declassified documents, and interviews with leading Saudi and American officials, Bronson chronicles a history of close, and always controversial, contacts between the US and Saudi Arabia. She argues that contrary to popular belief the relationship was never simply about \"oil for security.\" Saudi Arabia's geographic location and religiously motivated foreign policy figured prominently in American efforts to defeat \"godless communism.\" From Africa to Afghanistan, the two worked to beat back Soviet expansion. But decisions made for hardheaded Cold War purposes left behind a legacy that today enflames the Middle East.
