America's Kingdom: Mythmaking on the Saudi Oil Frontier
Robert Vitalis
Debunks the many myths that surround the United States' special relationship with Saudi Arabia, also known as 'the deal': oil for security. This book shows how oil led the US government to follow the company to the kingdom, and how oil and ARAMCO quickly became America's largest single overseas private enterprise.
