Characterized by overlapping interests and mutual dependency - the US on the Kingdom for its oil and regional influence, Saudi Arabia on the US for security and legitimacy - Saudi-US relations have withstood successive changes of kings and presidents alike. However, since 9/11 officials in both countries have been reluctant to proclaim their relations openly for fear of national opposition. Arguing that Saudi-US relations are critical to developments in the Middle East, Naif bin Hethlain revisits critical past events - Egypt's involvement in Yemen, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Gulf Wars, and the fall of the Twin Towers, among others - and uses them as a framework with which to examine the two nations' complex relationship. Insightful and exhaustively researched, "Saudi Arabia and the US since 1962" is a nuanced assessment of over forty-five years of geopolitics. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Saudi Arabia. 651 0 $a Saudi Arabia $x Foreign relations $z United States. 650 17 $a Internationale betrekkingen $2 gtt 651 7 $a Saudi-ArabieÌ $2 gtt 651 7 $a Verenigde Staten $2 gtt 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825090638.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150520012125.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6EBE2176E99711E08F1A6CDA6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
