With the U.S. beginning to enforce a "no-fly zone" over Libya and the Egyptians voting on a new constitution and authoritarian regimes cracking down in Bahrain and Yemen, could a book be any more timely? Inside the Kingdom offers a vital context for what is appearing on CNN almost nightly. Inside the Kingdom tells the story of the evolution of the modern Saudi Arabia. Lacey starts with a pivotal moment in Saudi history, the 1978 occupation of the Grand Mosque in Mecca by a group of fundamentalist Muslim youth seeking to bring about a Godly revolution. The occupation of the Mosque was put down quickly and brutally, but the aftermath reshaped the religious landscape. In response to the attack, the House of Saud, the royal rulers of the country, forged a intimate tie with the conservative religious leaders and offered social "reforms" that meant a retooling of the public school system to focus on religious instruction. And therein lies the tension. A royal, ruling family with an autocratic hold on the country, who nonetheless is often a significant force for moderate reform, teamed with a theocratic, fundamentalist extreme that by and large dictates the day to day life of the people. It is this tension that gave rise to terrorist groups like Al-Queda, to which Lacey devotes a good third of the book. And through it all is the "special friendship" that the House of Saud has with the U.S. It's a delicate--and fascinating--balancing act. And one that has profound implications for the revolutions occurring in many Middle Eastern countries at this moment. I recommend it for anyone seeking a better understanding of that region at this crucial moment in time.
