This book makes a new and significant contribution to the literature on the critical relation between Saudi Arabia and the United States. Paradoxically, the writer has been able to use US documents to present a distinctively Saudi perspective on the relationship.
The rationale of Saudi policy, and the strong but controlled sense of betrayal when expectations were not fulfilled, is conveyed lucidly in the text. The Saudi establishment finds itself, as "Naif bin Hethlain" shows, caught between its private security concerns and the requirements and interests of its regional and Islamic roles.
Since the 1960s, Saudi Arabia and the US have maintained a strategic alliance that has often assumed the form of a delicate diplomatic balancing act.
Characterized by overlapping interests and mutual dependency – the US on the Kingdom for its oil and regional influence, Saudi Arabia on the US for security and legitimacy – Saudi – US relations have withstood successive changes of kings and residents alike.
In considering the two nation’s complex relationship, “Naif bin Hethlain” revisits critical turning points such as Egypt’s involvement in Yemen. The 1967 and 1973 Arab – Israeli wars, the Iran- Iraq War, both US-led Gulf Wars and 9/11, among others. He argues that good Saudi- US relations are indispensable to the stability of the Middle East.
Balanced, insightful and exhaustively researched, Saudi Arabia and the US since 1962 is a nuanced assessment of more that forty-five years of geopolitics.
