Thicker than Oil: The US and Saudi Arabia
Featuring:
The Middle East Institute is pleased to host author Rachel Bronson on her new book, Thicker than Oil: The United States and Saudi Arabia, A History. Bronson’s book reveals why the US-Saudi partnership became so intimate and how the countries' shared interests sowed the seeds of today's most pressing problem--Islamic radicalism.
Dr. Bronson is a senior fellow and Director of Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. She has testified before Congress’ Joint Economic Committee on the topic of Iraq’s reconstruction, and the President’s 9-11 Commission.
Dr. Bronson is the recipient of the Carnegie Corporation’s 2003 Carnegie Scholars award. She has served as a consultant to the Center for Naval Analyses, as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., and as a Fellow at Harvard's Center for Science and International Affairs.
Copies of Thicker than Oil will be available for sale before and after the event.
