Editorial Reviews

"Understanding the sources of funding for terrorism is critical to defeating this threat to our way of life. Sarah N. Stern's book is required reading on this issue."

- John Bolton, former US ambassador to the United Nations

"This book makes an important contribution toward exposing the dangers posed by the Saudi royal family and their global network. For decades, we have turned a blind eye while the Saudis funded terrorists and radical schools throughout the world, and I am pleased that this group of experts is revealing the goals and tactics of the Saudi regime so we can understand them better and prevent them from doing even more harm to us and our way of life."

- Shelley Berkley, US Congresswoman

"Few people know as much, see as much and can communicate the truth about the Middle East as much as Sarah Stern. You will be amazed at what you read."

- Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist

"This book presents a disturbing picture of Saudi Arabia and of US policy in the Persian Gulf. It challenges widely held views about the moderation, stability and cooperativeness of the Saudi government. It highlights the anti-Christian and anti-Semitic bigotry of the instruction in Saudi schools, the violence inherent in the Islamist doctrines taught in foreign schools financed from Saudi Arabia, the influence that such doctrines exert among Muslim groups in the United States, the longstanding obsequiousness of US officials toward the Kingdom, and the distorted lenses through which many Americans perceive Saudi Arabia and Islam. Sarah Stern has put together a volume of provocative, controversial essays. They should be read and debated, for they raise important questions that have long received inadequate inattention."

- Douglas J. Feith, senior fellow and director, Center for National Security Strategies, Hudson Institute, former under secretary of defense for policy, and author of War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism
