Fragile Future for Saudi Arabia
Book cover of ‘On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, Religion, Fault Lines – and Future.’

House has covered Saudi Arabia for 30 years as a diplomatic correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.
She says as the leadership of their nation ages and its younger generation seeks direction, concern for stability is a major concern for many Saudis.
