Excellent- More about MBS: The Rise to Power of Mohammed Bin Salman
MBS is the gripping, untold story of how Saudi Arabia's secretive and mercurial new ruler rose to power, working to overhaul the kingdom's economy, loosen its strict Islamic social codes, and confront nearby enemies. However, his vision has tarnished, leaving many wondering if he is an aspiring dictator destabilizing the world's most volatile region.

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
The captivating and previously untold account of how Saudi Arabia's enigmatic and mercurial new ruler ascended to power is presented in the following text:
Even in his early years as a prince among thousands, Mohammed bin Salman harbored grand aspirations. He yearned for power—enough of it to reshape his hyper-conservative, insular Islamic kingdom.
When his elderly father ascended to the throne in 2015, MBS seized his opportunity. As the hands-on ruler, he implemented seismic changes, working tirelessly to overhaul the kingdom's economy, loosen its strict Islamic social codes, and confront neighboring enemies, particularly Iran. His vision initially gained supporters both domestically and internationally, as he persuaded other nations that the time had come to bet big on Saudi Arabia. However, over time, the shine of the visionary young reformer has dimmed, leaving many questioning whether MBS is truly an aspiring dictator whose lack of experience and impulsive decisions are destabilizing the world's most volatile region.
Based on years of reporting and hundreds of covert interviews, MBS offers fresh insights into Saudi Arabia's catastrophic military intervention in Yemen, the bizarre detention of the Lebanese prime minister, the surprise arrest of hundreds of princes and businessmen, and the most scandalous episode of the young prince's rise: the brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi state officials with ties to MBS—a crime that shocked the world.
A riveting portrait of a determined autocrat on the rise, MBS poses the question of how one man's actions and obsessions are shaking the Middle East.
