Rev. Dr. Sir Wayne Murillo III reviewed Blood and Oil by Bradley Hope
Review of 'Blood and Oil' on 'Goodreads'
If you are anything like me, news stories about the Arab World are difficult to understand because you have little context to use to navigate them. It also doesn’t help that both Democratic and Republican leaders have political objectives in the region and spin narratives to meet those objectives. I often find that a deep dive into one area of something I don’t understand reveals other parts and builds vital context.
Blood and Oil is an extensive report on the life of Mohammed bin Salman and his climb to the top of Saudi Arabia’s monarchy. Bradley Hope and Justin Scheck bring events like the ‘17-‘19 imprisonment of Saudi royals in a Ritz-Carlton and the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi into focus: slpl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1491009116
