To Posner, this is a gross understatement. In this book, he exposes the truth about U.S.-Saudi relations--and how the Saudis' influence on American business and politics poses a grave threat to our security. Using bank records and other previously undisclosed information, his two-year investigation penetrates the innermost layers of the shielded House of Saud and presents evidence of complicity and deceit at the highest levels--evidence that the 9/11 Commission failed to consider. 600 30 $a AÌl SaÊ»uÌd, House of $x Political activity. 651 0 $a Saudi Arabia $x Foreign relations $z United States 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Saudi Arabia 651 0 $a Saudi Arabia $x Politics and government. 939 $a 5878056 941 $a 1 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB6D74342B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b E9B 952 $l UTAX314 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
