MBS: The Rise to Power of Mohammed bin Salman by Ben Hubbard

challenging dark emotional medium-paced

5.0

Ben Hubbard is an expert journalist and an excellent storyteller. His tone is sober, yet the book clearly conveys a sense of urgency. Mr. Hubbard also does an excellent job of fashioning complex facts into a narrative arch demarcated particularly by Mohammed Bin Salman’s ascendancy to the office of Crown Prince, and the murder of the Saudi-born WaPo columnist, Jamal Khashoggi. An excellent book for those interested in learning about a man who has spent blood and coin to define himself in the public eye; truth be damned.
