Would you listen to Inside the Kingdom again? Why?
Most likely not. Despite being a great book, there are of course, so many other histories to read/listen to.What was one of the most memorable moments of Inside the Kingdom?
Lacey's use of large excerpts from interviews give a human face to story Saudi history. The story he tells of the "Qatif Girl" at the end of the book is particularly poignant.Excellent overview of recent Saudi history

Also, pointing out that Saudi men don't sit with their wives unless they want sex and that you don't see them holding hands in public and generalizing that on all Saudi communities is totally wrong. There are a lot of people that way, but the country covers a huge area with many many different cultures and ethnics, and not all Saudis are the same.
