Sommario/riassunto |
|
Rachel Bronson analyses the sometimes rocky partnership between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia and the problems that it has spawned in this history of U.S. policy toward Saudi Arabia. She discusses the potential long-term repercussions of allowing the alliance to deteriorate in today's battle against global terrorism. |
