The book explores the intertwined rule of the Al Sa'ud family and the descendants of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab in Saudi Arabia since 1932. It highlights how Wahhabism, a radical interpretation of Islam, has been propagated through Saudi oil wealth, contributing to global terrorism, including the motivations behind Palestinian suicide bombers and figures like Osama bin Laden. Stephen Schwartz presents a critical analysis of the impact of this ideology on both the region and the world.
