MBS: The Rise to Power of Mohammed bin Salman
by Ben Hubbard
***Shortlisted for the 2021 Pen/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography***
A book about Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who will be forever remembered as the man in charge of Saudi Arabia at the time of the brutal murder of dissident Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, chopped to pieces while visiting the country’s consulate in Turkey. Inevitably an outsider's view—Ben Hubbard is the New York Times Beirut bureau chief—it's nonetheless fascinating to find out more about Saudi society and MBS from a reporter who has been following the country closely.
