Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude by Robert Baer (Crown, Hardcover)

Former CIA field officer Robert Baer, author of the bestselling memoir See No Evil, turns his attention to the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia. Drawing on his years in the Middle East, Baer argues that America's dependence on Saudi oil and petrodollars led Washington to overlook the ruling Al Sa'ud family's corruption, human rights record and funding of militant fundamentalist groups, and he warns that the kingdom's instability poses serious risks to the global economy and American security. Published in 2003 in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, it's a sharply argued insider's critique. Includes a map and index.

Condition: Hardcover with dust jacket. Used, in like-new condition apart from a few minor scuff marks on the dust jacket.
