The complex ties between the CLA, the Saudis, and the terrorist groüps that later turned on the United States with horrible conséquences are all documented here, as is the recent fyistpry'of the Al Sa'ud family and its connection to terrorism. Baer's assertion that Saudi Arabia is -a powder keg waiting to explode beçause of internál tensions betweén the royal family and fundamentalist groups willing to resort to terrorism to get their way has been proven time and again since this book's original publication. With a new afterword that traces recent developments, Sleeping with the Devil is essential and riveting reading for every American. Vissza
