Drawing on extensive inte rviews with the Crown Prince\, his royal relatives\, and his inner ring of advisors\, The Man Who Would Be King explains in full what shaped the man who is reshaping Saudi Arabia.\n\n \;\n\nThe Man Who Would Be King re veals MBS in all his complexities\, from his rise to power and his vision for the future of his Kingdom\, to his ruthless maneuvers to project power —a shrewd broker working to seal a viable deal with Israel and bring pea ce to Gaza while he cuts oil supplies to manipulate Western politics. It i s an unprecedented and much needed in-depth portrait of the leader who wil l be a major player on the world stage for the next half century.\n\n  \;\n\nYou can participate in the conversation with Karen Elliott House in- person or virtually. The event is open to the public and the media. If you are interested\, copies of The Man Who Would Be King will be available fo r purchase at the event.
