The diminutive co-founder of Code Pink has become famous for fearlessly tackling head-on subjects the left and right studiously avoid. Sometimes, she does so in person--as at President Obama's speech at the National Defense College, or in Egypt, where she was assaulted by police. Here, she's researching the sinister nature of the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
In seven succinct chapters followed by a meditation on prospects for change, Benjamin--cited by the L.A. Times as "one of the high profile members of the peace movement"--shines a light on one of the weirder, and most important, elements of our foreign policy. What is the origin of this strange alliance between two countries that have very little in common? Why does it persist, and what are its consequences? Why, over a period of decades and across various presidential administrations, has the United States consistently supported a regime shown time and again to be one of the most powerful forces

It provides powerful tools to cope with primitive minds.
Definitely recommend it.. I also liked that the other woman is not presented as an evil person. Rosenthal's writing style was fresh and engaging and the story was mesmerizing. Saudi schools have helped to create branches of Al Qaeda and other extremist groups across Western Asia and Northern Africa at least since the joint U.S.-Saudi operation in Afghanistan that created the Taliban, not to mention the Saudi role in Iran-Contra, but also including Boko Haram in Nigeria, and including in Europe. Barnard discusses this and tells you how to address the subject with your doctor. I have studied chin na and san da with professor liu and must admit he is very good. You can easily copy a page a week out and carry it with you. But this book tells you exactly what is for what. The quality of the recording is horrible. The relig
